Korean-American rapper 1nonly has carved out a lane all his own in the alt-rap world. Hailing from Las Vegas, he first started releasing music in 2019 and broke through a year later with his viral hit “Stay With Me,” a moody rework of Miki Matsubara’s city-pop classic that introduced his unique sound to a wider audience.

Blending brooding basslines, melancholic lyrics, and traces of emo and bedroom pop, 1nonly channels the introspection of artists like $uicideboy$, but with a sound unmistakably his own. His 2024 single “Scars” tapped into that same emotional core, pairing hazy synths and cloud-rap textures with raw reflections on fame and isolation.

This week, he returns with “CHUMPCHANGE,” the second single off his upcoming album ONLY IF I DIE, WOULD I NOT BE. Featuring longtime collaborator 870glizzy and Grammy-nominated producer dwilly, the track continues to expand 1nonly’s shadowy, genre-bending sound—cementing his place as one of the most distinctive voices in modern rap.
