Jeremy Dussolliett, known professionally as Kinetics is a rapper based in New York City who has been releasing hip-hop projects since 2008. He has collaborated with R.A. the Rugged Man, Skyzoo, Remedy from Wu-Tang Killa Bees, Termanology, Accent, the Unknown Prophets and others, but is best known for his work with friend and longtime collaborator, NYC producer One Love. In 2009, Kinetics & One Love started releasing experimental hip-hop projects and writing and producing for other artists.
Jeremy "Kinetics" Dussolliet was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in the Hudson Valley. He started writing poetry and rapping in high school but did not release any original music until he met Tim "One Love" Sommers – a drummer, producer and DJ. The two started working on songs together in 2007, with One Love handling the production and Kinetics providing rap vocals. In 2008, Kinetics released a free seven-track EP online, which helped the rapper first develop a small buzz in the New York area. One Love produced two songs off the project and played keys on a third. A popular song on the The Kinetics EP, "High Noon," addressed a real incident in which Kinetics was sliced in the face by an opponent’s box-cutter during a rap battle in a club parking lot.
After the release of The Kinetics EP, Kinetics & One Love decided to form a group and start an artist project together. The first Kinetics & One Love album, Fading Back To Normal, was released in 2009. That album contained the Kinetics & One Love original, “Airplanes,” which was later bought by Atlantic Records and re-released commercially as the second single of rapper B.o.B's debut album.
In the summer of 2012, Kinetics released his first mixtape entitled With A Little Help From My Friends, featuring guest appearances from R.A. the Rugged Man, Remedy, Nitty Scott, Dylan Owen, the Unknown Prophets and Lower East Side-based rapper and poet Accent. On August 28, 2012, Kinetics & One Love released their second album entitled You Are Not Alone, with guest appearances from Termanology, Wynter Gordon, Nitty Scott and Accent.
