Only first appeared on the scene as the youngest member in the Sandpeople collective. Recording some of his first verses for what would later be the album ‘All In Vain’, him and Mo-B started working on their own side project which later became Portland underground classic ‘The Hate’.

He continued working hard, learning new styles and flows as he joined another Sandpeople subgroup, Bad Neighbors, for their sophomore album ‘Armed & Hammered’. Then again with Al-One for the Sapient produced ‘The One and Only’. By this time he’d acquired a bunch of beats from Sapient and started working on his solo debut. It wasn’t easy to do, at one point well into the writing of what later became known as his half of ‘Police Brutality’, his car was broken into. “This isn’t the first time that I wrote these bars, shit got stolen when they broke into my car” Only raps on ‘Angels and Demons’.

Since releasing ‘Police Brutality’ as a double solo LP with Illmaculate, he’s continued working hard with the release of the ‘CHRON’ album. Recently Only’s been tirelessly writing and recording for Sandpeople projects, an EP with producer Yuen, a solo mixtape, Police Brutality 2, and even another project produced by Sapient. With all that music up his sleeve, it’s safe to say that OnlyOne fans have a lot to look forward to.
