Thug Life Army

There must be something in the water down in Virginia, as after seeing producers like the Neptunes, Teddy Riley and Timbaland become permanent fixtures in the Urban landscape, the next super-producer from the region is poised to emerge as well -- Nottz!

Fresh off a very hot Scratch Magazine feature, Nottz'' rapid ascent up the rap/hip-hop production charts (Busta Rhymes, 213, G-Unit, Cassidy, Scarface, Xzibit, Method Man, Royce 5''9, Ghostface, Kardinal Offishal, Sticky Fingaz, Rah Digga) continues with the release of "Nottz Presents D.M.P.," which is scheduled to street on 3-22-05.

D.M.P. members Black-N-Deckah, Big Shot, Killa Khi and Star display their chemistry throughout, which is clearly evident on "Hear Me Knocking" and the must-hear makeover of New Edition's "Mr. Telephone Man"; aptly-retitled "Mr. Smif & Wesson Man." D.M.P. are joined on the "Teamsta Mixtape" by hip-hop rap artists Royce 5''9, Petey Pablo, Krumbsnatcha who guests on the apocalyptic "Get Live" and Famlay from the Neptunes Star Trak camp helps turn "Pop Em" into an all Virginia affair.

The "Teamsta Mixtape" is entirely produced by Nottz and his beats bang so ridiculously that you may just need to "Call The Ambulance" -- don''t say we didn''t warn you!
