The homie Future from over at We've Got The Jazz hipped me to Notes To Self last week, a hip-hop foursome that has started to make some waves on the internet as of late. "All of the Above [BBRC]" is their latest video, and it also serves as my introduction to the crew. I am giving these guys a thumbs up for both production and lyrics, and the Benjamin Young Hart directed visuals are nothing to sleep on either. Notes to Self's upcoming project Used To Be Dark [Recoil] , is set to drop by month's end. [...]
MP3 Download : All of the Above [BBRC] by NotestoSelf " Feeling like Frontiersman, we grew our beards and arrived in Mactier at 7:30pm. Cold as f*ck. 4 hour drive North. Pitch black outside. Cabin smelled like pine and rosé. Dropped our bags, chose our beds, Bronze took the air mattress. Half hour till the NBA Dunk-Off. Donk was geeked. Flat screen, satellite, middle-of-nowhere. Heats on. Lee is lit. Drunk off Timbits. Blake Griffin jumps over a car . Here to shoot a music video. [...]

This one here seems like a good choice to close out what was a fairly wacky winter week - out here in Halifax at least. The guys from T.O. hip hop outfit Notes To Self sent us their new video a few days ago, and it is pretty much, to use their own description, "as cancon as it gets". Filmed somewhere in the frozen Northern Ontario Hinterland, it features the guys in full hunter/trapper regalia as they run down a ton of the elements that make up this culture we call hip [...]

Notes to Self is a group I've been following for a few years now. Since the release of their 'Warning Shots EP' back in '09 I have been a massive fan. Hailing from my home city, these Toronto boys have been able to create a pretty big name for themselves which is a massive feat for a group with only one full length album under their belt. Their style is unique but also reminiscent of old school rap groups and their clever, thought provoking lyricism combined with solid production has really set them apart from other hip-hop groups. With the [...]

Imagine going hunting for bears in the Northern part of Quebec. All excited to go bitch slap some bears, you get lost in the mix. Now you are stranded out in the middle of no where trying to figure out the next move. You just happen to have your camera equipment with you, because you wanted to get some good bear footage, so you decide to film a music video all lumber jacked out with axes, bear traps, fur hats, and other assorted outdoorsy type shit. This should paint a good picture of what Notes to Self just [...]

NTS gives us the forcast on what's fresh. The visual is another story. Looks like Notes is bringing back that survivalist Daniel Boone style... I'm a fan.

I don't know about you, but I need a quality song to finish today off in style. This true school gem is an ode to their craft from T.O.'s Notes To Self and features Evidence. It's also excellent. And you have to love that NOS have their cover art game on lock, great stuff just keeps on comin' from their camp. MP3:: Notes To Self - Nobody [Recoil Remix] f. Evidence Web:: www.notestoself.net

For "Nobody," Toronto-based rappers/producers/DJs who collectively refer to themselves as Notes to Self asked the question "what was it like when you started rapping?" For the "Nobody" remix, the guys got Evidence of Dilated Peoples to join in, but it's the editing process of their video might be even more impressive. The lyrics to "Nobody" are synced to clips of videos from the hip-hop greats that made Notes to Self think, "I wanna rap like them." Notes To Self ft. Evidence - "Nobody (Remix)" Hit the jump to watch "Nobody"... [...]

We've been neglecting the Video Hits around here, I think, because once again we've got a backlog of great videos, so let's get a bunch posted. An just an FYI, this is an All-Canadian Hip Hop version of the Video Hits, so if you don't like the hip hop, now would be the best time to leave before we get into it and then it'll be all awkward when you get up to leave and we all turn around to stare at you as you slink away. I'm kidding of course, don't go anywhere! [...]

From Notes Himself: Remember back back in the day when when you had that 1 Homie who would video tape & record every rap video on TV, or every rap show on the radio?
