Today, genre-blurring artist 1nonly shows off his production skills on “Leave,” a dynamic new single that only needs 90 seconds to make a lasting impact. Listen HERE and watch HERE via Warner Records. The buzzing newcomer delivers haunting bars over thumping beats and interlaced synths, pushing his creativity to the next level. “Leave” will feature on the rapper’s upcoming Homesick EP, due November 11th.
“This is the first song I’ve released that I’ve also produced,” 1nonly says. “That’s a personal creative milestone for me.” He’s particularly excited to see how fans react. “I’m anxious to hear what the fans think of my production, I also want to start producing for other artists.” The rapper’s versatility is at full tilt on “Leave.” Hypnotic bass dictates the first half of the track as 1nonly melodically paints a poignant narrative.
“You know what I’ve been through, what I’ve seen with my eyes,” he spits ahead of the catchy hook. “She said don’t leave, how you gettin’ money?” Suddenly, the bottom drops out, and a warped electronic/hyper-pop soundscape fuels the song to the finish line. It’s another dizzyingly original track from an artist that refuses to be pigeonholed.
“Leave” follows September’s breakneck release “Step Back!” alongside New Zealand producer-rapper SXMPRA, which has generated more than 10 million Spotify streams, and July’s infectious “Mine,” a showcase of 1nonly’s undeniable command of beat switches and flow. Earlier this year, he joined forces with Shady Moon for May’s acoustic-turned-groovy “Stalking” and January’s lo-fi “All That’s Left.”
This year’s flurry of releases have expedited 1nonly’s momentum from last year’s “Zoom!” and “DANCE!” with Ciscaux and Wassup Rocker, which boast over 50 million cumulative streams. In August, 1nonly performed at 88rising’s Head In The Clouds Festival at the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA. With tracks like “Leave” in his discography, it’s only a matter of time before 1nonly becomes a regular on music’s biggest stages.
ABOUT 1NONLY:
1nonly’s gothic raps are grim, yet glamorous. Every song is a blur of euphoria and violence, a mosh pit of TikTok generation rap tropes, while he sits at the center, dropping flexes in a deceptively casual cadence. He’s at peace in the chaos. Born Nathan Fuller in 2004 in Las Vegas, NV, 1nonly first dove into alt-metal bands like Linkin Park and Breaking Benjamin, later finding hop-hop as a high schooler through skate culture and the internet. He put out his first music in 2019, recorded on a gaming headset, and immediately found an audience for his hooky, tongue-in-cheek style. As he immersed himself in recording more, he shifted from bedroom pop to rap and began honing his sample-heavy sound. Now signed to Warner Records and represented by Wax Management, 1nonly wants to take his songwriting to the next level, working with SoundCloud rappers who inspired him, like Xavier Wulf and Night Lovell, and tapping even further into the romantic darkness he’s cultivated in his music. He’s one of rap’s true punks, making uniquely gloomy, angsty, and otherworldly songs that just might push the whole genre—multiple genres, even—forward.
