Original One BIO...

Original One. Dedicated Rap lyricist/MC. Born, bred & raised outta Hackney East London. He is a co-founder of the Hip Hop collective, The BKS based in London (England). Other crew members include GE/Mr 75 & NBG. The man who's been plying his trade since the nineteen naughties destroying mics even on the same night as legendary hip hop artists (Lords of the Underground, Cookie Crew & Wrecks n Effect to name a few) to a half a**ed boy/girl band driven British music industry. After various record label frustrations through this period, the boy went for dolo & pressed his own 12" (For the Brain/YUBYG?) in 2000. He sold his wax directly to record stores across London as well as shipping copies across the UK by various promotional means. Many favourable reviews were to follow from the likes of HHC, various pirate radio stations & Hip Hop clubland alike. Da 'O' followed this success in 2002 by becoming a finalist in the BMG/Busta Rhymes talent stand off which took place at the BMG/SONY offices in Fulham, west London to an enthusiastic judging panel which included Tim Westwood from BBC radio 1 & peers alike. But this was only the calm before the storm! In summer 2003, he dropped the banger, 'Check the O'(Re-release in stores now!). The promo video received spins on MTV BASE & spent nearly a year on the Channel U playlist! This 12" also included the wack MC slayer joint, 'Ya Over' & showcased his witty storytelling ability on the final cut, 'Miss Low Key' gaining favorable reviews in Touch & HHC magazines. A package which pushed his name into new territories which included Canada, USA, Japan, Australia & eastern Europe! In 2004, Mr 'O' declared war on the weak, bland, gun-toting wannabe gangsta, thugged out, Hoody all weather Rapper on the hilarious, 'Learn How 2 Rap'(available on itunes, Napster, Rhapsody, Y!music, Musicgremlin, Tower records online & CD baby). The promo video received spins on Channel U (UK) & Rage TV(ABC network, Australia) respectively. It's a gutbusting must see (Goto www.whitetigerentertainment.com to view)! During recent years, Original One has extended his acting arm. As well as auditioning for various roles in TV commercials, he found himself cast in a Hip Hop movie which starred Asher D (So Solid Crew/Hustle) & more recently(and notably), became the stand in/acting 'double' for Timbaland during the making of Madonna's new video, '4 minutes' Ft. Justin Timberlake! He also began recording his much anticipated album in late 2005(Still under construction) scheduled for release this year. To date, he has completed shooting a promo video for his current joint, 'Change my Style'(Ft. Final Element & GE) with 'Where U Bin?' on the flip. The latter gained an incredible 98% favourable response within the first four days of airplay broadcast by over 8,000 Fusion Radio (Fusion Radio London, 107.3 & Fusion Radio Chicago) listeners gaining their prestigious '5 Star Artist Award' as voted by the prior. Fusion Radio(Now NRG Radio) have become official supporters of Original One & both tracks are now available at itunes, Napster, hmvdigital, emusic, rhapsody, Y!music, sonyconnect, musicgremlin, all other MusicNet stores (goto MusicNet.com), or by clicking the link below to visit thebks online store!!!
