CRITICAL PRAISE
“He’s well on his way to being one of the next independent rappers to make a mainstream splash… $NOT’s got a very particular kind of charisma, and one single at a time, everything’s clicking.” – Pigeons & Planes
“With Billie Eilish and ‘Euphoria’ co-signs, rapper $not is a Gen Z star in making” – Los Angeles Times
“Snot — stylised $not — is a quintessential South Florida SoundCloud rapper, brimming with the sarcastic, devil-may-care attitude of his peers with perhaps a bit more polish.” – UPROXX
“$NOT’s ‘Pressure’ Reveals a Changing Tide in Hip Hop…His nonchalant flow and reserved style does not diminish his dark, heavy lyrics and straight-to-it delivery.” – Teen Vogue
“The 22-year-old rapper has become a Gen-Z superstar—from boasting millions of streams on SoundCloud, being featured on HBO’s hit series Euphoria, receiving shoutouts from Billie Eilish and Drake (Bell), to becoming a staple on TikTok and Triller, you can find the rapper just about everywhere. With a flow that matches his calm demeanour, $not intertwines his deadpan delivery with themes of humour, love and sadness, all over ethereal bass-ladened beats to produce a sound that has garnered him widespread traction” – OFFICE Mag
Retreating into his hoodie with a me-against-the-world mentality, South Florida rapper $NOT complements his anti-social rhymes with sharp and infectious melodies. Taking his songwriting to a new level, $NOT shares Beautiful Havoc, his new album. The new album interrogates the 22-year-old rapper’s pain, digging into the betrayal and hardships that shape his prickly and misanthropic persona. With production from the likes of Powers Pleasant, Eem Triplin, Woodpecker, and more, Beautiful Havoc offers a bright and diverse sonic palette, allowing $NOT to showcase his elite melodic instincts and provide a contrast to his dark, self-hating lyrics. Featuring appearances from Denzel Curry, iann dior, and Flo Milli, Beautiful Havoc is available everywhere via 300 Ent.
Beautiful Havoc is home to several well-received singles, including the bouncy loner’s anthem “Revenge” (5.3 million views) and the sly Flo Milli collab “Mean“ (2.4 million views). $NOT connected with Cole Bennett to create a 2-part music video series featuring the two songs, premiered on his Lyrical Lemonade YouTube channel. Premiered earlier this week by Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, new single “Sangria” is a pugilistic banger with a standout guest verse from Denzel Curry. The album also boasts new highlights like the smooth, R&B-flavored flexers’ anthem “Toni Braxton,“ and the hauntingly beautiful closing ballad “Horizon.“
The 12-track Beautiful Havoc is $NOT’s second full-length of 2020, following March 2020’s – TRAGEDY +, which featured hits like “GOSHA” (100 million+ streams), “Beretta” ft. wifisfuneral (23 million Spotify streams) and “Moon & Stars” ft. Maggie Lindemann (40 million Spotify streams). With over 4.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, $NOT has earned co-signs from the likes of Billie Eilish, and his song “Billy Boy” appeared in an episode of HBO’s Euphoria. $NOT completed a successful tour of the U.S in Q1 2020, selling out venues across the country. Most recently, $NOT shared “Can You Help Me,“ a defiant track that calls out racism and supports the Black Lives Matter movement.
Ready to continue his steady upward trajectory, $NOT is on a mission to become one of his generation’s essential voices. With Beautiful Havoc, he proves that there’s no ceiling on his immense potential.
