A turn up flex? I am here for it. It’s all eyes on the crew of 1 Umbrella - consisting of ALLBLACK, 22nd Jim, Lil Bean, Zaybang and Lil Yee - courtesy of their ‘One of Those’ music videos.

1 Umbrella delivers the vibes with ‘One of Those’ music videos

The song is pure audio flames but how about getting the gang all together for a visual flex? It’s a celebration, big flex and studio vibes all on display in their newest video drop. Tap in.

Since forming like Voltron earlier this year, 1 Umbrella has embraced their status as ambassadors for Bay Area culture. Fresh off making their presence felt at the Super Bowl in Santa Clara and the NBA All-Star Game in L.A., the collective of ALLBLACK, Lil Bean, 22nd Jim, ZayBang & Lil Yee come through with "One Of Those," their latest music video. Produced by Bay Area sound architect Reece Beats, "One Of Those" is a breezy and soulful banger, lifted by triumphant horns and tin can percussion. The song features contributions from four of the collective's five members, with cucumber cool verses by ALLBLACK and 22nd Jim balancing out emotional melodies from Lil Yee and Lil Bean. In the video, the group kicks back in EMPIRE's San Francisco studio, where they smoke up, play dominoes, and watch the Warriors on TV. "One Of Those" features prominently in 1 Umbrella's new vlog, in which they show the world how to properly spend a day in San Francisco.

"One Of Those" is a sparkling highlight from the group's debut album, 1 Umbrella,, which they dropped earlier this month, earning critical praise from Earmilk and peaking at #24 on Apple Music's Hip-Hop Albums chart over its debut weekend. All five 1 Umbrella rappers are among the most respected artists in the Bay, with long track records of success and a history of fiery collaborations. ALLBLACK and 22nd Jim hail from the same neighborhood in Oakland, while ZayBang, Lil Bean, and Lil Yee hail from across the bridge, in San Francisco, a city with a rich, if less-heralded, hip-hop history than its East Bay cousin. Spanning 15 tracks, the album gets its bounce from the five emcees' electric chemistry, featuring all five rappers in various combinations, including true posse cuts like "CODE," "The Blueprint" ft. DaBoii, and the Passion of the Weiss-praised "Baller Blockin."

The group welcomes guests from across the region, including SF's Larry June, Vallejo's DaBoii(formerly of SOB x RBE), Berkeley-born melodic mastermind Rexx Life Raj, and East Oakland storyteller 1100 Himself. Featuring additional guest appearances from Lingo and Dooder, and production from Bay Area sound architects like Brutal Money, Reece Beats, EazyDrez, DrinkJuice, B'Lon, and DJ Idea, 1 Umbrella is available on all platforms via EMPIRE.

1 Umbrella's album arrived just in time for the worlds of music and sports to converge on California, with the Super Bowl in Santa Clara and the NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles. The 1 Umbrella rappers were outside during both weekends, sitting courtside at a Golden State Warriors game during Super Bowl weekend, then jetting to Los Angeles to film a music video for album highlight "Off Top" with Larry June. The group hosted a meet-and-greet at EMPIRE's HQ in San Francisco, and launched a special pop-up on Montgomery Street during the album's release weekend. The group recently discussed their mission on an episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game and performed highlights from the new album with a live band on Yerr On The Street.

1 Umbrella has released their debut album, but they are far from finished. Keep an eye on the new group as they look to make the most of a big moment for Bay Area rap music.
