I was reading a little article with Nottz on HipHopDx this morning and it got me pretty excited for his album, You Need This Music, which is supposed to drop sometime this year.  Nottz is one of my favorite producers out.  He is one of the only cats who seems to have the ability to work with cats like Kanye, R. Kelly, Snoop, Rah Digga and Little Brother.  His beats are always fresh and different.  I wasn’t aware that he was a rapper and was putting out an album until I saw his video for Shine So Brite.  The joint is really dope.  He followed it up with a video and a song called Cars which is equally as fresh.  I’m exactly sure when they album is going to drop but I WILL be bumping it for sure.  Another exciting and interesting piece of information is that Nottz was supposed to do an album with the late, great J Dilla.  He produced a track called Diamonds for Dilla from his album, Pay Jay, which never dropped but hit the net last year.  Diamonds is one of my favorite Dilla joints ever and to hear Nottz did the track was really cool.  For everyone NOT familiar with Nottz, check his credentials.  Dude is amazing.  Here are the videos for Shine So Brite and Cars, as well as a few other Nottz produced joints that I love.  Happy Monday
