Barry One’s Biography It is quite hard to get the name out there but too simple to be forgotten. It has not been like that for a Blantyre based artist BarryOne who has had his name on the scene for a very long time still being recognized as one of the best out there. Most know him from the collaborations he has had with some of the local artists. His raps and word play have evolved from the 90’s till now and he is still flexible and able to fit in as far as change and diversity is concerned. He has worked with the greatest producer ever known as Dynamike at the time he met The Strategy and he really has had an impact on the industry itself.

It was a fifteen track album which had the most important message ever one would need in life, The WORD of GOD.
