notes

ONE SON, was born in Lanett Alabama, and moved to Brooklyn N.Y. at the age of eighteen to pursue a music career. After playing semi pro football for the Brooklyn Chargers he endured some hard times which led him into enlisting in the U.S. Army. The Army enabled him to live in various places such as Missouri, Virginia, Seattle, Atlanta, and Fort Worth TX. That gave him a four-corner outlook on how people live in different areas, and helped him incorporate these things into his music. While in Texas he met individuals who shared the passion for music as himself. He has released three underground cd's, and has opened up for numerous well known artist such as: Outkast, Common, Hieroglyphics, De La Soul, The Grave Diggers, Killa Mike, Public Enemy, and Blackstreet. While performing in Austin, TX. he was discovered by Maxine Lewis who is the segment producer for Amateur Night At The Apollo she liked his performance, and invited him to perform at The Apollo Theater. He received a standing ovation, and since have appeared in three independent films DIRTY SOUTH, RIFF, and ALMOST TIME. His latest release is called A POOR MANS TESTIMONY which features the single HEAR MY CRY. The video aired on BET UNCUT in July 2003, and have also aired on various independent video shows in Alabama, Atlanta, and Dallas. One Son is currently overseas in Iraq, and will soon be releasing his new project, based on his experiances in Iraq. One listen, and you'll see why there might be many stars, but there's only ONE SON. Log on to http://onesononeson.com/ for more information.

  • SUPER-HUMAN
    author: Sibylle

    I can higly recommend to buy this CD. ONE SON does not just rapp the casual "Shake that Bootey", that man got one hot lyrik in his Rapp that really makes you think deeper about peoples struggles, unfairness, weakness or strength or braveness in life. It shows us that so many of us try so hard to give their best, but just as life is, sometimes we gain and win, sometimes loose something in life, no matter how hard we tried. I bet everyone can find somewhere a little reflection of his-/herself in his songs. I heared he got a new Album coming out soon, so stand in line, cause that man is not much longer a underground- secret in the world, he is "The Voice!". (This Review was stated from GERMANY!)

  • For Anyone That's Going Through The Struggle.
    author: TOO TALL

    I can respect a cd that deals with real issues, because most of us don't have that Bentley, or that platinum chain. This cd is in my opinion for the average working man, or women that's trying to make it. Also thanks for the ten dollars.

  • author: Deon Velvett

    This has got to be one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. It is not saturated with the same old bling bling theme or the shoot em up stuff. There is a little bit of everything in here that we have all experinced one time or another. One Son get's two thumbs up...

  • author: Patrick Council

    This is an excellent CD with real life messages about struggle, that has a positive outlook.The lyrics are like therapy not to forget educational to the listener with a slamming beat.GREAT JOB ONE SON!!!

  • Oneson has created a masterpiece for the ages.

    This is a masterpiece for the ages. It appeals to young and old alike. From beginning to end ,Oneson has an everlasting message for all. This is not only a c.d. for your listening pleasure , but something to apply to everyday life. Oneson has truly capture the essence of true Hip hop in a day where Bling, Bling and other material items are taught to be the norm. He has taken Hip Hop back to it's orgin. "A Poor Man's Testimony," Is a must have for your c.d. collection.

  • An Incredibly Diverse Artist
    author: Mike V. Exec Prod - Moo Shoe Ent.

    Every Track on this CD, is much more than just music. Lyrics tell a story that few individuals have lived thru, and at the same time leave much to the imagination. One Son is an Outstanding Person, Musically and On Screen. This CD is only the Begining, I Look Forward to hearing more from ONE SON as well as working with him again in the future. Real Good CD!!!

  • Positive hip-hop, booming beats, great lyrical delivery
    author: Bu-Sha Kiswana

    I really liked the songs that I heard, especially the song hear my cry. I think it depicts the struggle within African familes and within some African American relationships. We need music such as this to show the everyday lives of African Americans; how we live, struggle, and die.

  • author: Seini

    Each song is different, but each song has it's on story. It's a universal cd, that will appeal to anyone that not only likes Hip Hop, but loves music.
