1oneam is a 21 year old rapper & producer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin who’s released a couple mixtapes as well as an untitled full-length debut & 10 EPs since the beginning of this ongoing decade. House Party dropped exactly 104 weeks ago & elevated his popularity in the plugg scene, something that he would capitalize on 7 months later when 1 Life came out. With only a week away from Halloween, the cr3stfallen & requiem member has returned for a sophomore effort.

“Tags” produced by TDF immediately caught my attention soon as I began playing the album flexing his wealth prior to “Marriott” talking about moving at the same speed of life itself with no intentions of stopping. “Stuck to Him” gives a shoutout to all his haters simply because he gets to stomp on them now that he’s chillin’ on rooftops while the self-produced “Up to Something” blocks anyone asking for a handout.

Moving on from there, “I Can Fly” thanks all his Day 1 supporters for always believing in him & staying locked in while “Outside” talks about sending shots to the head soon as he steps off the porch with his twin. “Match My Vibe” asks the chick that he’s seeing if she can has the same level of aura as him after a long day while “Who Am I?” talks about maturing & betting himself right.

“Cloud 9” reaches the halfway point of Sin Ever After giving that very response to the people asking him where he’s been lately leading into “Golden Token” talking about his whole squad being with the shits. “Just Like Me” suggests that he might sip the lean a little slower than usual & giving 0 fucks if anyone likes him until “Understand Me” splits itself into 2 halves feeling as if he’s misunderstood.

gyro jumps behind the boards for the rage-inducing “Let It Go” telling his girl not to worry over something insignificant & after “Fuck the Talk” references the greatest basketball player of all-time Michael Jordan, we have 1oneam talking about his preference of having a strong team beside him on “call me” in addition to getting the bag before some of his former friends betrayed him.

“Ain’t My Life” gets the final moments of the LP rollin’ talking about a hoe wanting him to save here even though that’s not a part of his lifestyle at all & once “Did You Mean It?” promises the girl who’s been having him go crazy that he’s gonna get her right by buying her the Mercedes she’s been wanting, “No New Friends” sends it all off by talking about a 1 man team due to the fact all these other people are like zombies while “Agent 47” starts the deluxe run comparing himself to the main protagonist of the Hitman series of stealth video games.

The man from the same city as the longest reigning 4-time JCW World Juggalo Heavyweight Champion Corporal Robinson uses “Lifestyle (How Can You)” as a moment to shout out all the homies who look up to him while “5G” samples one of Future’s greatest singles “March Madness” talking about being richer & older now. “Everyday” assures that his closest friends can call him whenever he’s needed while “Make Her Dance” recaptures the energy of “Bandz a Make Her Dance” by Juicy J featuring ColleGrove.

“Petrol” talks about carrying a stick around at him at all times as if he’s the late Tom Clancy while “Chainsmoker” boasts that he’ll flex up anywhere with no fucks given. “Hope You Know” talks about spending $100K on his brand new whip leaving all the women geeking hard while “Who’s You?” clarifies he’s tryna have some fun with the chick he has in mind that he can’t save regardless of him being unable to save anyone. The final bonus track “Calm B4 Storm” tries to defuse his girl’s frustrations promising he can buy anything when he’s in the store.

Glimpses of 1oneam’s potential in the plugg scene have already revealed itself all over some his previous projects like 1 Life & 1 Death, but Sin Ever After somewhat reminds me of Devstacks’ most recent album 4SOULJASONLY in the sense of Dev putting his signature regalia sound to the side so he can embrace more traditional trap production except that the secondary influences of regalia are being replaced with plugg & crafting his greatest LP as a result.

Score: 4/5
