## About

Kinetics & One Love began writing music together after meeting in 2007 and forming a hip-hop group – with [Kinetics](/source/Kinetics_(rapper)) as the rapper and One Love as the producer.[1] In 2009, they released their first album *Fading Back to Normal*, featuring the original Kinetics & One Love version of "[Airplanes](/source/Airplanes_(song))," with One Love production and Kinetics rap verses. After handing out a few hundred copies of the album around New York, a copy made its way into the offices of [Atlantic Records](/source/Atlantic_Records) in New York City. While still college students at [Cornell University](/source/Cornell_University), Dussolliet and Sommers were invited to the label to speak with A&Rs from Atlantic and, in early 2010, signed a publishing deal with [Warner/Chappell Music](/source/Warner%2FChappell_Music), Inc.[2] "Airplanes" was bought by Atlantic and became the second single off rapper [B.o.B](/source/B.o.B)'s debut album, *[The Adventures of Bobby Ray](/source/The_Adventures_of_Bobby_Ray)*.[3] [Paramore](/source/Paramore)'s Hayley Williams was also featured on the track.[3] The song climbed to the number 2 spot on the [*Billboard* Hot 100](/source/Billboard_Hot_100). A second version of "Airplanes" featuring [Eminem](/source/Eminem) was also included on B.o.B's album and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration.

After the release of "Airplanes," Kinetics & One Love moved to New York City and began writing and producing for various pop and indie artists, managed by Nullah Sarker of Hourglass Entertainment. In the summer of 2012, Kinetics released a hip-hop mixtape entitled *With A Little Help From My Friends*, with guest appearances by [R.A. the Rugged Man](/source/R.A._the_Rugged_Man), [Remedy](/source/Remedy_(rapper)), [Nitty Scott](/source/Nitty_Scott), and others.[4] One Love produced half of the songs on the mixtape and mixed and engineered the entire project. On August 28, 2012, Kinetics & One Love released their second album *[You Are Not Alone](/source/You_Are_Not_Alone_(Kinetics_%26_One_Love_Album))*, with guest appearances from [Termanology](/source/Termanology), [Wynter Gordon](/source/Wynter_Gordon), and [Nitty Scott](/source/Nitty_Scott). The album broke the top ten on the [iTunes](/source/ITunes) hip-hop chart and climbed to #55 on the all albums iTunes chart. It also landed at No. 57 on *[Billboard Magazine](/source/Billboard_Magazine)'*s R&B/Hip-Hop chart and No. 32 on its Heatseekers chart.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*].
