One Be Lo

How many rappers can really live up to the name "OneManArmy"? Hailing from Pontiac Michigan, OneBeLo has emerged as one of HipHop most respected emcee's, but skills is not the only thing that seperates him from the rest. Speaking in schools, sitting on panels, conducting workshops, lectures, and performing spoken word are just a few of his extra curricular activities.

OneBeLo's recording career started with the Michigan-based group "Binary Star". They would record and press on their own, an album titled "Water World", that would be remastered, renamed (Masters of the Universe), and re-released and in 2000, hands down one of the best releases that year.

2000 was the same year OneBeLo started his own label(Subterraneous Records), and production team (Trackezoids). He would hand-pick several Michigan-based artists for the roster, and create a buzz throughout the midwest.

An excellent performer, at any given moment you might find his calendar booked with shows all over the U.S. and even overseas. Accomplishments made without a manager or a booking agent, but through relentless networking and sacrifice, He's performed at major festivals, hosted mc battles, and shared the stage with many an artist(Rakim, KRS-One, Wu-Tang, Ludacris, Lupe Fiasco, MF Doom, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, Soul Position, and Vanilla Ice, just to name a few). For 3 years He's performed on the Vans Warped Tour, a mostly Rock tour, and he's performed throughout the B-Boy circuit.

Speaking of B-Boys, OneBeLo is currently the only MC member of the World Famous Massive Monkee's who won the B-Boy World Championships, hosted by London in 2004.

In 2005, Fatbeats Records release his official solo debut titled "S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M.", which would take him out of the shadows of Binary Star, and go on to be on of the Top 5 releases that year.

After paying so many dues, years of networking, experiencing so much in his career and personal life, building a studio in his basement, OneBeLo had more than enough weapons to bring new substance not only to his rhymes but to his whole approach. A rebirth was beginning to take place.

After departing ways with FatBeats Records, his latest album "The R.E.B.I.R.T.H.", is not only the album title, but a statement. OneBeLo is Hungrier, and Better than he's ever been. Still the OneManArmy, just new and improved.
