Me phi me feat jeriko one here we come


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.

The song "Keep It Goin'" was chosen as the opening and closing theme for Fox's short-lived anthology drama Tribeca.
