UPC 7559609462
One for All is the debut studio album by American hip hop group Brand Nubian, released on December 4, 1990,[citation needed] by Elektra Records. The album was highly acclaimed for its politically charged and socially conscious content. Sales never matched the wide acclaim — the album has only sold 350,000 copies as of May 2013 — but it has remained in print since its 1990 release. The album is mainly produced by Brand Nubian, but it also features production by Skeff Anselm, Stimulated Dummies, and Dave "Jam" Hall. The album's production contains many motifs of hip hop's golden age including James Brown-sampled breakbeats and funky R&B loops. The album is broken down track-by-track by Brand Nubian in Brian Coleman's book Check the Technique.
The song "One for All" was featured in the soundtrack from the video game "Grand Theft Auto IV" from the in-game hip hop radio station "The Classics 104.1" and the song "Brand Nubian" is featured in the soundtrack from the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" from the in-game hip hop radio station "Playback FM".
