emcee.[2]

In 1993, Dax held an open mic at his home in Whittier. Among the performers was his sister Zane, and she became one of the first members of the collective Tunnel Rats, touring extensively with them in the Western and Southern United States.[7][6] Tunnel Rats released their first album, Experience, in 1996.[7] The same year she featured on The Risen Son, a studio release by fellow Tunnel Rats member Peace 586.[8] In 1998, she guested on the LPG album 360 Degrees.[9] Reynosa frequented venues in the Los Angeles hip hop underground such as Project Blowed, Good Life Cafe, and Unity.[3] According to Rapzilla, she became known for being "absolutely vicious on the mic" and was one of the first "raw and elite" women that a male-dominated industry respected.[6] The nickname "Zane One" started as her tag when she contributed to graffiti sketchbooks.[4] Around the year 2001, she founded an eight-member live band, Saturday Night Freestyle, that remained active for the next six years and made an appearance on Generations (2003) by Peace 586.[10][11]

Reynosa recorded two more studio albums — 2001's

The Longer U Wait.[21][22]

Reynosa launched her fashion line, Zane Marie Bags (originally Zane One Bags), in the early 2010s after eight years of practice and twelve years after she first started selling crochet at various music festivals, clubs, and poetry venues.[16][17][5] A music video for the track "Zane One (L.A. Woman)" from her debut album was released in 2010,[23] followed up by a single of the same title.[24] In 2011 she contributed to Macho's album Remember,[25] and this track was remixed two years later by producer Sundance.[26] In 2013, she appeared on Group Therapy by Sivion.[27] She featured on the LA Symphony album You Still On Earth? in 2014,[28] and in 2019 featured on the album Here's Mud in Your Eye by Krum and Theory Hazit.[29]
