One-2
One-2 was born in Iran on October 4th, 1985. He moved out of the country at an early age, due to the revolutions in the capital city, Theran. Taking refuge in the country of Sweden, his family had hopes of one day moving to the land of opportunities, the United States.
Denied in their requests for a visa, his family ended up staying in Sweden, where One-2 was raised. In late 1991, at the age of 6 he lost his father in a car accident. So ultimately, One-2 was raised by a single mother. As a shorty he had it rough and experienced alot of domestic problems throughout his childhood.
Determined to leave bad memories behind and start a new beginning, his mother finally fufilled his father’s wish and moved their family to America in 1999.
By the time One-2 enrolled in High school, he was already in love with rap and hiphop as a culture, but it wasnt until the 10th grade where he decided to take a stab at rapping himself. It started off as a hobby, cyphering in hallways, performing at school shows. He was heavily involved in the underground circuit joining forces with other local hiphop acts. Unfortunately, poor grades and constantly in trouble with the law resulted in him eventually dropping out of school and further strenghten his desire to pursue being a rap artist as his career.
In 2005, One-2 released his first mixtape, cleverly titled “The High School Drop Out”. Without any major promotion, the mixtape created an enormous buzz, giving One-2 global recognition and local respect.
With label mates such as Crooked I, Big Syke, K’nocturnal and Jayo Felony, One-2 is the underdog of Treacherous. In late 2006, he released the follow up to his first mixtape, entitled “New Day, New Money”. With visible growth and maturity in the sequal, the new mixtape is already considered a classic. At the tender age of 22, One-2 has a promising future ahead of him. Regardless of the obstacles that try to hinder him, the child of armenian heritage who was born in Iran, raised in Sweden that discovered rap in the United States has his mind set… Take over the industry, give birth to a new era and be one of the greatest at what he does… EVER
