Mr. Stress 1 Sawed Off Official Bio
San Diego, California's Mr. Stress 1 Sawed Off released his first record, “Strictly Business,” in 2012 to wide critical acclaim. It was not until his recent 2017 “Large Hitter” LP release that his fan base began to mobilize, however.
“And everyone knows how I do it,” says Sawed Off. “Got a good set of hands to do it with.”
Since that time, Stress 1 has steadily kept the Number-One ranking at ReverbNation in the Latin genre for the entire San Diego area. Considering SD is California's second-biggest city at nearly twice the size of San Francisco, that's a gigantic accomplishment.
Mr. Stress 1 Sawed Off cites as influences Chicano rap music, albums from the Sawed Off Records and Low Profile Records labels, Mr. Shadow, Mr. Sancho, Little Rob, West Coast, funk, and oldies music. His own music stands on heavy base lines with unique hooks on top of solid rhythms.
Stress 1 has expressed pride in the melodies and instrumentals produced by himself and the other Sawed Off Records producers, describing them as bearing “rap, funk, or oldies sounds with west-coast feels.” Of course, he's quick to note the success of the Sawed Off label, too.
“Originally Sawed Off Records started over 20 years ago here in San Diego,” he writes. “It had some of the most talented artists in the Chicano rap game back then. Today they are all music legends and true stars in the game!”
