One Lou is a hip-hop artist, writer, and record producer. Having been through his own trials and tribulations -- he now seeks to inspire and encourage those that have faced similar struggles, by teaching them that there’s a positive way out of any circumstance. This is further conveyed through his music as you can feel him pour his emotions on wax. This is why the New York native, Colorado based artist has caught the attention of Earmilk, This Is 50, Underground Hip Hop Blog, Hip-Hop Basement, Hip Hop Since 1987 and many other distinguished music publications. But, he is just getting started -- and ready to let you into his world and show you what comes next.

Many artists would be afraid to take risks and dabble in different genres of hip hop, but not One Lou.

One Lou’s lyrics are influenced by his own experiences, visions, and goals. While the entirety of his music draws inspiration from artists like J. Cole, Anderson .Paak, Russ, T.I., Joyner Lucas, Master P, Tupac, Biggie, Gucci, and many others.
