While Notion is putting the finishing touches on the EP, he connected with his brother Cee, Toronto's The Mighty Rhino and regular collaborator Digital Junkie for this uplifting, soulful banger. "Back To Life" sees the three artists drop positive bars focusing on progression, dedication, focus and the neverending search for happiness, all tied together by Digital Junkie's razor sharp cuts.
"Snares & Soul" encompasses 11 soulful, sample-heavy beats, perfectly sequenced to take the listener on a moody almost-30 minute journey through Notion's recent catalogue. Some of these are the very same productions that were showcased on the super popular vlogs, and they showcase Notion's innate affinity for samples. The tape can be enjoyed as a standalone project, or as a playground for singers and MCs looking for their next hit.
Yes, bitches! Volume 2 out this. For those who ain't know, this is the second volume of a three volume series of mixtapes where I try to do something that I haven’t heard anyone else do; rap over indie rock/electro/dubstep/alternative/folk/indie songs, while leaving the original tune intact and integrating my rhymes with the theme of the tracks. It’s also my first ever solo mixtape release, so I hope y’all dig it.
The big homie EOM has always came with some real soulful beats. I've personally been a huge fan for quite some time (damn, we still need to work together homie!), so I was vibed when Deez hit me about this new project. I'ma let the good folks at Kevin Nottingham.com fill you in, but trust me, this is a really dope project, some amazing flips of some classic Stevie songs. Awesome tribute to the man. "Virginia producer EOM (Elements of Music) is releasing his newest instrumental journey today through KevinNottingham.com. The beatsmith, known for his work with Wax and last year’s single with Shad, pays tribute to the great Stevie Wonder in his opus entitled Wonder Vision.
Sampling some of Stevie’s greatest work throughout his 50 year career, EOM captures the essence of Stevie Wonder in this 16-track dedication. Highlights include the opening track “Morecherry”, “Ain’tnothin”, “Do143″ and “Suburb Woman”.
Fans of both Stevie Wonder and hip hop sampling will find great pleasure with this project."
