Greetings people! It's your favorite neighborhood rhyme sayer, Ryan-O'Neil a.k.a. The One Hand Bandit a.k.a. el bandido a.k.a. Tom Foolery and The Shenanigans (just you wait and see) a.k.a. Mr Burns. I love life and I love music. Many things influence me and my music, mostly it's an undying need to prove my worth as a musician. Kinda deep for myspace, I know. But if I just put it out there, then who cares right? Anyway, I appreciate you all taking the time out to listen to the music that my friends and I made. Friends=Kats, Domer, Tense, 100dBs, P. Murray,
I'm somewhat obsessed with the music made by the Beatles. I think Paul Simon is one of the worlds greatest lyricists, and my favorite thing about Bob Marley's music was his adlibs. I'm almost ashamed to call myself a rapper, but wont stop rapping because I think I'm too good at it just to quit.
I don't make much sense unless my words are rhyming, so stop reading this and listen to my tunes.
Much love to the supporters of my first album. Look out for a project that is in the works, coming sooner than you think. (i know it's taking long, but its worth the wait)
The Adventures of The One Hand Bandit and The Slum Computer Wizard is now online for both digital download and CD mail order:
Props-
Ryan O'Neil's relaxed flow fits like a Saville Row suit.
Urban Species
They don't pretend to be Native Tongues or try to imitate the output of D.I.T.C., but they come off like the logical antecedent of those artists, as if the lineage from one to the other has remained unbroken by the last 10 years of capitalist confusion, or at least as if the reigns of those artists had continued uninterrupted.

The Adventures of the One Hand Bandit and the Slum Computer Wizard is an album that's going to get stuck. Stuck in your head, your CD player, your Winamp. 100dBs and Ryan O'Neil have combined to give birth to a robust hip-hop record that puts most of the year’s major hip-hop releases—excluding very few—to shame.
Patrick Vail
Stylish, rangy, eloquent, O’Neil touches on a number of different topics, over the typical variety of dBs’ diverse beats, and offers a consistent lyrical flair throughout the course of the album.
