The Hip Hop juggernaut NOTES TO SELF features rappers Swamp Donkey and Roshin, producer/rapper Bronze One, world renowned DJ/turntablist DJ Dopey and writer/illustrator Elicser. For nine years NOTES TO SELF has successfully created a cohesive group dynamic reminiscent of traditional rap groups like De La Soul and Tha Liks. NOTES TO SELF hails from Toronto, the capital of Canadian hip hop. A collective as mature and talented as NOTES TO SELF is rare, especially in a genre often limited by trends lacking in originality. NOTES’ musical diversity is broad and exciting. NOTES’ vibe captivates – the group has a solid regional fan base; both Dopey and Bronze’s reps span the globe.
NOTES TO SELF recently released their debut full-length work 'A SHOT IN THE DARK' worldwide on July 7th 2009 with UK tastemakers BBE Music, only to have been released shortly after their critically-acclaimed EP 'WARNING SHOTS'. Their project features collaborations with US artists Evidence as well as Dilated Peoples, Def Jux affiliate Vast Aire of Cannibal Ox, and of course close friend and collaborator Bookworm, and started charting in the TOP 15 on US College Radio (Rap). NOTES recently organized and successfully embarked on their first leg of live tour dates presenting 'The Lick Shots Tour' featuring Notes to Self & friend and affiliate DJ Babu across Canada. In the meantime, Dopey still finds time to jet set internationally, entertaining crowds from New York to Tokyo with the likes of DJ Woody and DJ Pump while maintaining a DJ residency on television’s MTV LIVE. Elicser also finds time to showcase work with Amoeba Corp. and Upper Playground from Montreal to San Francisco while holding down various contracts with Cuppa Coffee and Nike Canada. NOTES TO SELF is dedicated and determined, and as they promote their new debut release, they continue to work on excitingly new side projects, as well as collaborate with such international innovators such as DJ Babu & Evidence, Supa Dave West, SPLATTI, D-Sisive and Marc Mac to name a few. Since the 2003 release of Bronze One’s solo ep Just Add Water and most notably, among other numerous titles - DJ Dopey’s world DMC championship win, their 2007 collaboration with Abdominal on his solo debut 'Escape from the Pigeon Hole', marks NOTES’ dedication to Canadian music by placing in Toronto's top 3 Anthems as part of the city's 175th Anniversary; and NOTES’ 2006 tribute release commemorating the late great J Dilla, which now continues to realize over 10000 downloads online. As NOTES steadily adds to their list of accomplishments, the group most certainly stepped up their game by opening up for Brooklyn based power house rapper, Talib Kweli, and most recently on the Canadian date of L.I.'s finest 3 Feet High & Rising 20th Anniversary tour for De La Soul; which has since guaranteed them as headliners for CMW, NXNE & Barking Tuna music festivals. NOTES TO SELF is poised to break; with each ‘cutting-edge’ step, they ready themselves for world distribution. Hip Hop has come full circle with NOTES TO SELF.
