With his upcoming performance at The Factory for their Juneteenth event, I had to finally give Onlyonetwo’s album “222”, the 727 classic treatment that it deserves.
Onlyonetwo has been grinding in the 727 scene for a minute now as well as having ties to Orlando and Atlanta. I love his ability to have melodic catchy songs without coming off as corny or tired. That’s not to say he’s a slouch when it comes to the bars cause he can definitely hold his own with the best.
The intro track “All On Me” is on some inspirational shit. At the end of the day it really is all on you to get what you need done. The hard hitting beat goes really well with the melodic hook.
One of my favorite tracks from Onlyonetwo is “Square One”, this track just makes you wanna stay hungry no matter how much success comes your way. Onlyonetwo always has an anthem or two on his projects and this is for sure one of those.
“Awful” is a little bit more slowed down and melodic but the atmospheric beat goes great with the spacey ad libs. Onlyonetwo also changes up his flow several times on the track which is always a dope touch.
“Luv Deez Heaux” is just on some dope southern hip hop shit. Once again Onlyonetwo doesn’t miss when it comes to hooks. It was really dope to see him use the more melodic flow on this track. This one is definitely for all the OGs.
“Chosen Few” featuring Kevin Cossom his another one of those bangers. The way Onlyonetwo goes from using autotune to just his original vocals was a nice touch, making his verse sound more melodic. Jit been on grind mode foreal.
My favorite Onlyonetwo track of all time is “Been Fair”, I love the hook and the Ric Flair reference. The beat is very futuristic trap sounding, which fits Onlyonetwo’s style to a tee. I love how aggressive he starts off the second verse. This is a must for him to perform at any show.
“Sam Kassel (Fluuu)” is a classic at this point. If he starts the show with this joint the whole city is going to go nuts. Not many people can make a dope basketball themed song and not come off corny but if someone is gonna do it it’s Onlyonetwo. Check out the video as well.
I would highly recommend checking out this album, as well has his “Fire EP”. I know the other 2 EPs in the trilogy are on the way, as well as a new album. Big shout out to Wrecka and the rest of the $€VAW WAV€$ family.
