Not3s – Take Not3s II | Video Review

Not3s returns with his sophomore EP Take Not3s II, sequel to 2017’s project. The original tape was great exposure for the Hackney rapper/singer, Take Not3s created the viral hit “Addison Lee (Peng Ting Called Madison)” which only peaked #57 but established his style.

No One Expected Cardi B To Revive New York Hip-Hop
