Their musicality includes MVTEN and stz’s contrasting flows of rap with excellent word sense, as well as sounds centered around sampling R&B and jazz. So far, in addition to solo works by each member, they have released albums as a crew, such as “RARE COIL” and a collaborative work with FREEMANZ PRODUCTION, “UNITY.” In addition, his selection for Amazon Original HEAT, a project by Amazon Music that picks up and coming artists, and stz’s participation in ISSUGI’s album “366247” attracted attention.
This work “Slit” is a 4-song work based on the one that has been sold since 2021 only at live venues and ONENESS’s brand “eazy” online store. The original version was originally scheduled to be released in a limited edition of 100 copies, but it gained rave reviews through word of mouth and has become so popular that production has been repeatedly increased. Due to continued inquiries even after sales ended, the decision was made to release the product now. The content is mainly remakes of past and unreleased songs by MVTEN and stz, and only “KARATE” will be released for the first time. The distributed version is made up of only the beats of members S2 and Phaze1992, and the combination of the two MCs creates a soulful sound that can be enjoyed.
Mixing and mastering was done by member DJ Missile, and artwork was created by Slit Eyed. It is a work full of independent spirit, created entirely by ONENESS members.
