Fareed also known as El Boricua Arabe & El Boricua De La Bachata was a founding member of the legendary Freestyle Group Spirit Matter.  He's been in the music industry for over 30 years as a recording artist, promoter (Lyrics at The Nuyorican Poets Cafe) rapper, singer/songwriter and poet.  Born on the 24th of October 1967 to parents Abdelkrim Abdallah Senior and Ramona Abdallah Reyes of Moroccan and Puerto Rican descent in Hell's Kitchen New York City.

    Fareed started his music career as a member of the Hip Hop Crew Future Force along with Andrew Welsh, John Lindsey and Louis Sharpe a.k.a K7 of TKA/K7 at the world famous Roxy Nite Club as the opening act for the Legendary Hip Hop group The Cold Crush Brothers on August 19th 1983.  That performance at The Roxy opened up the door of opportunity for Fareed to record demo tapes with Full Force and Cultjam as a member of Future Force.  In late 84 K7 departed Future Force to form TKA.  Fareed, Andrew Welsh and John Lindsey then formed the Hip hop group Death City Boyz.   As a member of Death City Boyz Fareed was signed to Snowflake/Prism Records in 1985 and released his first single titled Bopsey Twins produced by Dj Tony Torres, Stephen Korlas and mixed by the now legendary Dj Frankie Bones with edits by Omar Santana.  Bopsey Twins aired on WBLS Mr. Magic's Rap attack show. It is now considered an Electro Hip Hop classic.  After DCB decided to go there separate ways Fareed and Andrew Welsh formed the Freestyle group Spirit Matter in early 1986.  Fareed while shopping Spirit Matter's demos for a record deal had a chance run in with Frankie Bones at RPBC a popular record pool in New York City.  Frankie Bones was working at the time with Tommy Musto for Midnight Sun/Tropical Heat Records on a song titled Crimes Of Passion originally for a female vocalist but Bones loved Spirit Matter's vocal style and invited Fareed and Andrew to audition.  Fareed and Andrew then co-wrote Crimes Of Passion and was soon signed by Silvio Tancredi (former head of Atlantic Records Dance music division) to Tropical Heat Records. Crimes of passion became an instant club hit in the New York City Latin hip hop club scene and was aired on Hot 103 in various mix shows.  Soon after the song aired on Power 96 Miami's top Dance Music radio station on full rotation.  Crimes Of Passion changed Fareed's life forever making it to number 3 in airplay and sales in South Florida and giving him the opportunity to perform to sold out crowds all over New York City's top Dance Clubs(1018, Hearthrobs, Roseland and Palladium), and Miami (Casanova, 1235 and The Hialeah Racetrack).  Spirit Matter's Crimes of Passion hit big and today is considered a Freestyle Classic.  His follow up single titled Betrayal was one of the first Latin Hip Hop Dance songs to combine live latin percussion with live guitar power chord samples often imitated in today's EDM sound. Betrayal was a club hit in New York, Miami, Philadelphia and Chicago.
