Nottz – Cycle (feat. Joell Ortiz)
Besides being a useful tool for much of the industry, it was only a matter of time before Nottz put together a solo album of his own, including raps and production from the man himself. You Need This Music was distributed by Raw Concept, and featured the likes of Dwele, Black Milk, Mayer Hawthorne, Snoop Dogg, Bilal and more, who he had worked with in previous years. A standout song on the project featured Joell Ortiz, in which they traded rhymes and spoke on the motion of life on “The Cycle.”
