Demo Tape : One a.k.a B-1 - 1994




I've got the different 12" singles released during the 90s by this emcee hailing from Farmers Blvd, Queens named One a.k.a B-1, but I've never seen or listened to his mysterious Demo tape which was reviewed by Dr Bombay a.k.a Ganjah K in Rap Pages Magazine of September 1994.


From Rap Pages - September 1994


The review mentioned a demo called "Takin’ Niggas" featuring Lord Finesse, Grimm and Freddie Foxxx. In 2013, B-1 was interviewed by Rob Unkut and talked about that track :

 I tried to find Ganjah K online to know if he still had the tape and if there was a way to listen to it but the b-girl T-Love told me that unfortunately he passed away on Christmas 2017... may he Rest In Peace. 
I can't give you any snippets of the demos, all of them are still unknown until today but here is a B-1 freestyle from a Stretch & Bobbito Show aired on October 12th 1995.. it's better than nothing !
