ONE OZ - All For Nothing REVIEW

One OZ – All for Nothing

Review

This is the latest release from Edinburgh’s own ONE OZ and was released back in May of this year. It is available as a free Download from his Bandcamp page and I gotta say its well worth checking out. 

ONE OZ has worked alongside some top rap artists from the likes of Black Poet and Ruste Juxx to the UK’s Leafdog and Micall Parknsun. He has been dropping his releases on Bandcamp since 2013 and has a catalogue worth checking out.

‘All for Nothing’ is 19 tracks deep and has Production features from the likes of Leafdog, Micall Parknsun, Wilson Fisk and more. There are also a few guest emcee’s who feature including Ironmaster and Jed.

Features and Production aside ‘All for Nothing’ display’s ONE OZ’s style and shows he is no slouch on the Mic. For me the opening track, The Greatest, shows this guys style perfectly, very much a no nonsense, not giving a Fuck kinda style. Well anyone who hits you with the line “You can piss on the floor or be a hero and try and take a shit on the roof” is telling it the way they see it no fluff and silver linings.

I have found this to be good listening during my long car journey’s and one of those album’s you can bang on and listen to all the way, no need to skip. ONE OZ has a distinctive voice, as you would expect coming from Scotland but, that only adds to the uniqueness. 

Stand out tracks for me are the opening track, The Greatest, That featuring Leafdog on the Production, More Time featuring Production by CRINK, I Spy produced by STS & Broken Arrow produced by Wilson Fisk. But, all truth be told it was difficult really picking out stand out tracks because the whole album is pretty strong.

The only think I would have liked to hear more of was for the bass to be a bit heavier. This is just a personal think as I do like my bass to be deep. 

I would like to hear more from ONE OZ and would like to hear him feature on a few more tracks cos this guy has the skills and deserves the recognition.
