The album Oldskool Attak by ONE, also known as Simon B, is a true throwback to the golden age of hip hop. With its hard-hitting beats, smooth rhymes, and nostalgic samples, this album takes listeners on a journey back to the early days of the genre.
From the opening track "Intro (Attak)," ONE sets the tone for the album with a heavy, boom-bap beat and a confident flow. The production throughout the album is consistently excellent, with classic samples and scratching adding an authentic old-school flavor.
Tracks like "Boom Bap," "The Real," and "Lyrics on My Mind" showcase ONE's lyrical skills, with clever wordplay and insightful commentary on the state of hip hop. Meanwhile, "Ghetto Child" and "One Love" offer more introspective moments, with heartfelt verses about life struggles and the importance of love and unity.
