Search - Awol One & Factor :: Only Death Can Kill You

"AWOL One has one of rap's most original voices." -- SPIN Some have called AWOL One "the Tom Waits of hip-hop." Some have called Factor "the John Peel of underground hip-hop." AWOL One and Factor certainly make no legitimate attempts to fit into such gigantic and legendary shoes, but their kicks are lookin' pretty smooth on their latest collab Only Death Can Kill You. AWOL One (a.k.a Tony Martin) explains, "This album is all about life cycles (life-death-day-night-alpha-omega), opposites, and confessions. I love this project because it is a consistent vibe and sound. It's like waking up early hung over, having a revelation, and recording it." A natural eclectic in life and music, AWOL One tends to deliver consistently creative projects that take twists and turns throughout. Along with being an accomplished emcee, he is a producer, video director, fledgling label owner, painter, graffiti writer, graphic artist, DJ, and proud father. This record, on the contrary, has one fluid feel anchored by the beat-crafting and engineering of one single producer, Factor.
