OnE aka GeneralBeatz Mental Head Bangaz



Bio
"OnE aka Deji was born in the continent of Africa .Nigeria to be exact. Raised as the last out of seven kids. He was born into a family of musicians(choir members)and addopted the tradition when he was 10. OnE has always been a multi tallented individual. Learned how to play drums at the age of 6 and was composing music at the age of12. OnE is special in so many ways its like music flows through his veins,like he breathes it in like air. Music has always been his way of explaining life and due to some situations in Nigeria,he migrated to the U.S. at the age of 16. He found a group called WolfPack in 2000 and started an independent label "mentalheadbangarz". The pack broke things up in 2003 and parted ways but OnE,now also known as GeneralBeatz aka "Mr. I got em" is still doing what he does best and that's producing and performing.....with slogans such as "get gully or get bodied"...."keep bangin'.  Please bare witness to the revolution of hiphop as you watch the story unfold.  You can always see him live all over Baltimore.  This is hip hop like never before with lyical content,consistency,variability and fluency.  One is a leader,a producer,a mentor, a videographer and a pioneer. Thanx for having OnE as a friend.  "MenTALMUZIK" one of his highly anticipated street album is coming soon!!!....keep bangin' and thanx for listenin'....2010 AND BEYONDMHB"


Now I can't tell you the first time that I ever seen One perform.  But I can tell you that he must have made a profound impact on me for me to become a true fan.  I have seen One perform more than enough times to know that this man is an entertainer.  I remember a show at The Black Hole and I had never seen a performer grab the mic stand and actually use it unless it was Reina Williams and she is playing guitar.  I stood there and was like oh ok he is more than just a rapper, he is an entertainer.  The music that I have heard from One ranges in topic.  It's real and comes from his soul!  


He also does his own videos.  To me he isn't just trying to bank on the music to get him where he wants to go in this life.  As his bio states, he is a leader, producer, a mentor, a videographer and a pioneer.  And if you haven't had the chance or opportunity to see this man perform, you are doing yourself an injustice.  Check out the music as well as the videos in the links posted below.  You be your own judge.
