NOTES TO SELF releases Four-Part Mixtape series: FOOT NOTES
FOR FREE DOWNLOAD
--
Take a trip with us through our take on memory lane - a journey through some rap music that was big for Notes as we we're coming up & developing as a group - we are real fans of real rap music - and this is an off-the-cuff selection of some of our favourites. A collection of Notes to Self's listening Habits if you will... mixtapes we used to make for one another, year in/year out of some of the dopest joints we were bugging out to. and still do. These are our FOOT NOTES.
A four-part series of mixes - of that good rap music that we grew up on or were influenced by - as a group. This is in no-way a definitive selection - just some mixes put together by Notes to Self - 'narrated by the crew that can recall where they were when they first heard, or even spotted, a 'classic'. Though chronological from the day Notes came together in 2000, it's an overview of newer joints from the last decade that really pushed Notes in the moment to create. Joints that were 4 days old that helped ignite the writing or passion behind some of the tracks that wound up on our new record. And we talk about it.
All in support of our new debut full-length release 'A Shot in the Dark' that recently dropped.
BBE released them incrementally prior to our release - but all FOUR-PARTS are now available together through our website for download - of course for free - as its a culmination of various artists internationally, again our listening habits at the time, as well as some of our own music + exclusives.
**PLEASE DOWNLOAD our FOOT NOTES at www.notestoself.net
Notes is still coming up, and still big fans or that real rap music.
Thanks for listening.
Peace.

R.I.P. Baatin of Slum Village
Dopey: I first got down with Notes when I was looking for some talent to put on a mix CD a couple years back. They made me a song called "Live Via Satellite" for the mixtape and it was most def, one of the hotter tracks that made it on to the mix.
Bronze: Hold on Dope, Donks gave you my first 12" at a spot downtown in 2003, and when we officially met at a Baatin performance later that year it was on from get go. Dope and I clicked immediately.
Dopey: Oh yeah that's right, but weren't you making beats for Baatin at that time?
Bronze: Yeah, but things never really came together properly… but that's how Dopey and I connected, so… thanks go out to Baatin."
