Not3s
Not3s' debut single, Addison Lee, was a cult smash at the start of 2017 - its delightfully daft lyric about hailing a cab for a “peng ting called Madison” was even tweeted by Louis Theroux. But the Hackney-born rapper is more than a one-hit wonder, thanks to an agenda-setting mix of afro, bashment, dancehall, and hip-hop… and everything in between.
His unusual stage name is a reference to three types of note: money, music and “take note of me”.
