Blood of Abraham is an American hip-hop duo composed of Benyad (Benjamin Mor) and Mazik (David Saevitz). that debuted in 1993 with the release of Future Profits on Ruthless Records, the label of the late Eric "Eazy-E" Wright.

The album, which presented itself with a certain novelty of Jewish identity, as seen evident in tracks such as "Father of Many Nations," "Niggaz and Jewz (Some Say Kikes)," and "Stick To Your Own Kind." A video was shot for the track "Stabbed by the Steeple," and print ads were centered around large text proclaiming "Jesus was a Black Jew," but that aside, the album did not receive much publicity.

Blood of Abraham proceeded to fall back into anonymity, which hit an even lower point in 1995 with the death of Eazy-E and the subsequent folding of the Ruthless and Relativity Records labels.

Mazik and Benyad then went on hiatus until 2000, when they released the LP Eyedollartree on Mastergrip which soon folded after the unofficial release.

They were then heard from again in late 2005 when they signed with Basement Records and re-released or officially released Eyedollartree which has lost its Jewish elemented theme.
