Onefour (stylised as ONEFOUR in all caps) are an Australian drill group from Mount Druitt, Sydney.[2] The group consists of members Celly14, YP, J Emz, Lekks and Spenny.[3] Onefour have been called Australia's first drill rappers.[4] The video for their single "In the Beginning" achieved one million views on YouTube in 48 hours,[5] and became the group's first single to chart, debuting at number 39 on the ARIA Charts.[6]

Onefour's sound is heavily derivative of UK drill music, with the group incorporating UK drill's production style.[7][8]

Controversies

In 2019, Onefour were forced to cancel their first national tour following police pressure.[9][10][11] In December 2019, three members of the rap group, YP, real name Pio Misa, Lekks, real name Salec Sua, and Celly14, real name Dahcell Ramos were jailed over several charges including reckless grievous bodily harm after a violent interaction at the Carousel Inn at Rooty Hill in July 2018. Misa was sentenced to four years in prison, with a two-year non-parole period, and will be eligible for parole in December 2021. Sua was sentenced to four and half years jail with a non-parole period of two years and three months and will be eligible for parole in December 2021, whilst Ramos was sentenced to ten years jail with a non parole period of six; he will be eligible for parole in December 2024.[12]
