A-1 - The Ritual

He raps well. Video's tight. & a Little Dragon sample? Ayyy!!!

A-1 - So Much For Yesterday

I'm just going to quote the guy's fans:

Fresh off of releasing 5 independent Mixtapes after debuting as a solo artist in 2009, A-1 is back in 2010 ready to release his newest solo project, "After School Special" [available now]. Consistent as a lyricist, A-1 brings acrobatic word play, hard hitting punch lines and poetic visuals to the forefront in his music. Introspective verses about his own life and the world around him from the perspective of a young, working class member of society, with a scatterbrained sort of versatility separate his music from the others.

Straight out of the Mission in San Francisco, it's A-1...
