Los Angeles born Word One flew clear across the nation to be raised in New York. He can be considered a vet in the game with a career spanning over a decade beginning in 1993. His biggest inspiration is his mother but he also pulls a great deal of influence from fellow lyricist such as Rakim, Wu-Tang, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Eminem, and DMX. His philosophy is that music can be made for average, working-class individuals and doesn't always have to be about balling, trapping, sex, or other nonsense. Real-life, relatable situations are his teachings and class is in session. Word One will be dropping the Best of Freestyles: Vol 3
(Ruff Ryder Edition) in February of 2015 in celebration of him being singed to work with DMX. His first single was entitled “Hocus Pocus” from the album "Journey To Nowhere" which dropped in 2011 during his eighth year as an artist, also eight years after his fist edition of his solo mixtape brand: Best of Word One prides himself on being one of the most versatile artist in rap music.
