1TakeOcho Talks The Release Of His Debut Mixtape "Undeniable"
By: Omar Cook
“Make sure y’all go get my debut mixtape “UNDENIABLE”. Out on all platforms. If you wanna know who 1TakeOcho is musically, I recommend you go listen to the tape. It’s an undeniable vibe.”
Compton artist 1TakeOcho dropped his debut mixtape titled Undeniable! 1TakeOcho hit the scene with 2 hot EPs, Ocho and Ocho II, and with the bar already set high he definitely did not disappoint with this project. Ocho is 1 part of a rising rap group called 1TakeBoyz, but he is making a name for himself with consistent hot releases and his place in the music industry is truly becoming Undeniable.
“The big homie DJ Hed really inspired the name of the tape. A while ago he told me “if you wanna win in this game always remember to be undeniable, bring value, and don’t take shit personal.” The Undeniable part stuck out to me a lot and I decided to name the mixtape that.”

When listening to the project, you definitely get the feel of good vibes as well as inspiration. On his track “Never Fold Interlude”, 1TakeOcho pays tribute to all of the people who doubted him thanking them for his success.
“The overall message is the title really. Be undeniable. Also, just to show people my growth within my music and good vibes. I always wanna display a good undeniable vibe.”
The project features 10 tracks with some dope features from 1TakeJay, Chris O’bannon, Kyle Banks, and Azjah! This is one of the most complete mixtapes released this year in Hip Hop. Every song is a banger. No Skips. Our favorite track on the project though…”Tryna Play Me”.
“There’s a few favorites I have on this tape. But the must listen would have to be “Best Life ft. Kyle Banks.” The other must listens are “The Streets ft. 1TakeJay” and “Weekend ft. Chris O’Bannon.”
From production to the lyrics, this mixtape really shows his growth from his previous 2 projects.
“This project is much more enhanced than the previous projects I dropped. This was my debut mixtape so I wanted this to be like a “wow” moment and show people my sound and my growth. I invested heavily in the production, mixing/mastering of the tracks, etc. If someone were to ask “who is 1TakeOcho” or “what type of music does 1TakeOcho make” , this project would answer all of that.
The pandemic caused a lot of disruption around the world especially the entertainment and music industries but 1TakeOcho found a way to put out a complete project through the midst of it.
“At the beginning of the pandemic it affected my music because my engineer shut down his studio for a while and that’s the only place I like to record at. Shout out to JAGonthebeat. He’s been my engineer since I first started back in 2018. He knows my vocals and his studio and working with him is like my comfort zone.”
You can expect more heat from 1TakeOcho and the rest of the 1TakeBoyz crew for sure as they continue to put on for West Coast Hip Hop. Check out the complete project below!
