We asked Kurt to exposit the creation and production of the strain and video:

The inspiration for “1 On It” came patch sitting in the parking aggregation of Ashland Mountain Adventures after onslaught downbound Ashland Mountain on our singlespeeds. My chum Cesar was destructive “I Got 5 On It” by Luniz, and the disreputable Timmy C started shouting “I Got One On It….” That was every I needed to intend the ball rolling.

One of my favorite genres of penalization is early ’90s enarthrosis hop, as it represents a remarkable combining of power finished sampled rock, jazz and depression beats integrated with skilled record scratching and poetic lyrics. I grew up watching YO! MTV Raps, which is perhaps where I scholarly a some moves.

It took me most 5 to 6 hours to indite the lyrics, because I wanted to keep the rhymes, line and pentameter as genuine to the example as possible. If you endeavor the digit next to apiece other, you crapper wager the fit similarities.

I transcribed the strain in Nov 2010, and we didn’t dispense the recording until a some weeks back at Singlespeed Cyclocross World Championships (SSCXWC) in San Francisco. I knew there was exclusive digit guy who could dispense and edit this recording – Theo Dilworth of Allout Productions. Being a professed elevation cycle videographer and application with a background in DJ music, he was the amend person to dispense “1 On It”.

Brock D, my duplication in the video, grew up immersed in the Oakland enarthrosis jumping scene of the late 80′s. His verify to honour was, as senior collection president in broad school, he wrote a rap strain most a hermaphrodite, and performed it over the PA system in homeroom. Unfortunately the body didn’t revalue his talents as such as the student body did, and he was pronto expelled.

We effort most of the rap scenes on Twin Peaks above the city, and also effort on the porch travel of my friend’s concern in the Haight. All the added footage was either from Theo’s archives or shots he took during the Sat qualifier for the SSCXWC.

It was an incredibly fun experience, and the gear(!) in my head is already motion on added enarthrosis jumping parody related to the joys of singlespeeding.
