about

Upper Space is the new album from beloved Hip Hop DJ/Producer/turntablist, Rude One.

Upper Space was sparked when Rude suffered a serious burn out from his day job in NYC's ultra high-end interior design world. Moonwalking out of that life, and away from a $250k income, he retreated to a small apartment in downtown Cincinnati where he attended every Cincinnati Reds home game for a full baseball season. The remainder of his time was spent utilizing hallucinogens, running long distances, talking to his cats, writing short stories, and making beats that would ultimately pave the foundation for this project.

Upper Space is comprised of 9 songs featuring Rude's hand-crafted production specifically tailored for a select list of collaborators such as Valee, Stove God Cooks, Jeremiah Jae, Roc Marciano, RXKNephew, YNOT DUSABLE and more.

Upper Space is the official follow-up to Rude’s 2016 LP, ONEderful which featured Your Old Droog, WestSide Gunn, Roc Marciano, and Conway The Machine ahead of their stints as leaders of a stylistic shift in Hip Hop.

In 2023, DJ Rude One teamed up with RXNEPHEW for The ONEderful Nephew LP.

Upper Space will be released 10/18/24 via Closed Sessions.
