If Portland, Oregon has heard an emcee representative put in work on the Booth I can’t think of them, so even if newcomer Luck-One, making his Booth debut today with his new single More, isn’t literally the first rapper to appear on our pages, upper west coast music is so rare I won’t hesitate to call him a trailblazer. Blazer? Get it? Never mind. Let’s get into the music. Impressively, Luck manages to walk that often tenuous line between conscious music and party music, a balance producer T Mak strikes nicely by giving More a funky underpinning layered by hard-laced drums. But it’s Luck’s mic skills that truly make this one a standout as he touches on everything from slavery’s legacy to the ceaseless hip-hop grind with spitfire flows that include an equal mixture of anger and love for life. Hungry for more? You’re in luck. (God I’m ill with the puns today.) Luck-One’s True Theory Outakes EP drops October 4 right here on DJBooth, followed by the release of his full LP, True Theory, coming soon.

Quite an impressive introduction from Luck-One. One listen to this record and we were sold on hosting his new project (out October 4). I'm a fan.

Saying I was merely impressed by this would be an understatement. Luck-One came through with a very solid track. The background noises made me skeptical as the track first began, but by the end of the song I was sold on this man's talent. Luck-One is a clear example of a hungry emcee doing what he does best.

Luck-One is incredibly dope! Y'all needa check out his EP "Beautiful Music" with the producer Dekk - it is incredible. I actually got the chance to ask Luck some questions recenty because he is on our Top 10 to Watch For list this year. Check it out and let me know what y'all think, thanks in advance.

Luck gave me a great first impression on this one. He submits an all around solid track here. The production is interesting and different, and his lyrical abilities are apparent. I'm interested to hear more.

Damn. I hadn't heard Luck before this, but the man's got some serious rap skills, and I'm really digging the revolutionary vibe. To say we need more of this kind of music would be an understatement.
