I’ve seen the likes of LMNO of the Visionaries, Common, Jean Grae,Pharaoh Monche, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, De La Soul, The Living Legends, Slum Village, and Cypress Hill but no one has put on a better performance than One Be Lo. Also known as One Man Army of Binary Star, One Be Loperformed on stage alone with no djay or hype man to help him out. Hejust had his music play, and took the audience by surprise. Lyrically hehas proved himself to be one of the best emcees out there; however, on stage he made you feel the words. It didn’t seem as if he was rapping,but as if he was talking directly to you. From covering his “Masters of the Universe” album to his solo project, “S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M.,” he showedeveryone that he had something to say. He got the audience involved as he asked questions and encouraged them to put their hands in the air. And when a few breakers formed a circle and started dancing, he thanked them for the love they were giving them. Overall the performance was one to remember, if you love hip hop or not, you were bound to be entertainedand would have probably learned a thing or two.
