Billed as Australia’s first-ever drill rap group, Onefour were headed for the big time until legal troubles derailed the crew in 2019.
• The infamous Western Sydney group draws inspiration from UK drill artists like Harlem Spartans. The name Onefour derives from an area street gang called NF14. • Onefour began rapping as a collective in 2014 and released their debut single, “Ready For War,” three years later. • Their 2019 breakthrough single, “In The Beginning,” debuted inside the Top 40 of Australia’s ARIA Charts. • Although the group is influenced by UK drill, they make use of local slang and rap with Australian accents. • Onefour faced major setbacks in late 2019, when three members were sentenced to lengthy prison terms for their roles in a 2018 pub brawl.
