TYPE-ONE is an underground producer and artist emerging from Northern Texas. His journey in music began well before 2018, but it was under the alias TYPE-ONE that he truly found his voice and distinct artistic direction. His music captures the essence of the Southern rap scene, characterized by its heavy beats, syrupy flows, and laid-back yet gritty storytelling. However, TYPE-ONE isn't one to be confined by tradition. His sound is a unique blend of these Southern influences with bold experimental elements. His beats are thick with bass, layered with intricate rhythms, and punctuated by haunting melodies. This creates a soundscape that is both familiar and new, drawing listeners into a world that feels both gritty and ethereal. Lyrically, TYPE-ONE’s work is introspective and reflective, often exploring themes of identity, struggle, and resilience, all accompanied by his signature pitched vocals. TYPE-ONE also strives to show awareness for type-1 diabetes by sharing his struggles with the disease through his music.
