ONE is the debut album by American Alternative hip-hop group Me Phi Me, released on February 18, 1992 (see 1992 in music) by RCA Records. Generally considered the first folk-rap album, ONE was a critics darling in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and Scandinavia, though sales were limited. A fusion of acoustic guitars, spacey synthesizers, and live funk beats, the album established the Me Phi Me Fraternity as one of the more progressive hip-hop artists of all time.
