Ron Oneal "SON OF ROME"
Ron Oneal "IF NOT ME WHO" Mixtape Hosted By Dj Self
LOWER EAST SIDE (NYC) Artist, Born
in Brooklyn, NY October 1985 is a rapper who goes by his given name or
simply ‘O’. These days Ron Oneal is a viral sensation. In the era of
social media where everyone is a star in their own right, it’s a
slightly difficult feature to accomplish but Ron Oneal did just that!
All Star Weekend February 2015 the opportunity presented itself in the
form of Ron Oneal being in the right place at the right time or
depending on whom you ask Maybach Music Group’s very own Rick Ross might
have been the one at the right place at the right time. The scene is
set in the projects of Manhattan’s Lower East Side Jacob Riis Houses,
Ron Oneal found himself face to face with the rap star. Seizing the
moment Ron Oneal unleashed a verbal assault that drew onlookers and had
Rick Ross not only rocking but amazed and admiring the talented MC. The
result, Rick Ross exchanged contact information with him and later
placed him in the “Movin Bass” video. Scores of onlookers captured the
moment on their mobile phones & tablets immediately uploading the
clips to social media making it go viral. The clip went viral and was
published on several sites such as WorldStarHipHop, Media Takeout,
Bossip & More. Ron Oneal essentially broke the internet with now
over 2.2 million views collectively and 1 million views on WSHH alone!
While most artists might get lazy or cocky over an experience like that
Ron Oneal would not be lead astray, he knew all too well how it felt to
be on the downside and not deliver when people are routing for you, he
didn’t always win. A few years ago Ron Oneal got, what to him was his
biggest shot, a coveted spot on BET’s 106 & Park to showcase his
skills to the world however the pressure to succeed was so immense it
caused Ron Oneal to choke making him lose. It was a hard blow to Oneal,
one he lived with for years. But he never gave up, instead he started
grinding harder, drawing strength from his biggest inspiration and
supporter, his mother! As fate would have it, he would redeem himself
but stay humble after the Rick Ross encounter. He has since been working
on his Mixtape “IF NOT ME WHO”, Hosted By Dj Self and released his
first single “Double Check” (All Eyes On Me) ft Sv Skee https://goo.gl/LtRQQX which
is in light rotation on Power 105.1 and has 11,000 plays and counting
on sound cloud. Opened up for French Montana 2015 Memorial weekend in
Portsmouth Virginia, performed at numerous venues thru out the city;
Club Purlieu, City Scapes & Aces just to name a few and has internet
radio buzzing with his second single "Peanut Butter" https://goo.gl/3tqr73 which
received great reviews from Dj's, bloggers & taste makers. Ron
Oneal is back in the studio preparing for his 2nd Mixtape "SON OF ROME"
dropping summer 2016 and plan to release the first single #SOR March
2016.
Ron
Oneal graduated from the infamous Seward Park High School whose famous
Alumni include Golden Girls actress Estelle Getty, comedian and actors
Keenan Ivory Wayans and Luis Guzman and now Ron Oneal to name a few.
Unlike your typical depiction of a rap artist, Ron excelled in academics
specifically in the subject of math. When you hear rapper,
mathematician doesn’t come to mind but again Ron Oneal is not your
ordinary rapper and plays the numbers game very well. In fact crunching
numbers is something he often does when he’s not rehearsing rhymes in
his head. Music has always been a driving force in Ron’s life, so much
that it became the common ground with a person he initially didn’t care
for, his current partner Sv Skee. Oneal and Skee met due to a fight they
had with each other in their neighborhood, the Jacob Riis Houses aka
Alphabet City. Even though the two lived directly across from each other
they didn't get along until a mutual friend in Junior High School
brought them together and they instantly developed a friendship. Oneal’s
love of rapping and creating music would ultimately influence Skee and
thereafter, Skee began to act as Oneal's hype man. One year later they were writing together as a team.
"I didn't know how it was going to turn out till we did a couple songs, but the chemistry was so great,"
Through
their shared love of music created the duo now known as O&S (Oneal
& Skee). Collectively the group has put out 3 mixtapes “Never
Departed” hosted by Sickamore (Famous Firm), “Good Girls Gone Bad”
hosted by DJ Rob E Rob & “The Leak”, a complete album which was
never actually released however the whole album was produced by Chris
Styles of Dangerous LLC (50 Cent's "Window Shopper" and "Disco Inferno).
Some of Ron Oneal’s earlier work like “Super Fly" and "Day After
Tomorrow", caught the ear of production heavyweights like The
Heatmakerz& Rockwilder and also received positive feedback from
highly regarded emcee Prodigy of Mobb Deep. Even though Oneal was very
pleased with this recognition he was still not satisfied, because these
people weren't looking to work with him or the group in an extended
capacity. With his mix tape “IF NOT ME WHO” Hosted By Dj Self and his
new mix tape In production "SON OF ROME", Ron Oneal is looking to have
an incredible summer.
