NOT3S

British Nigerian singer and rapper Not3s broke through in 2016 with the viral single “Addison Lee,” named after the London car service he took to the studio.

• Although he began experimenting with hip-hop and dancehall in his youth, he didn’t start taking music seriously until 2016, when a run-in with the law put his priorities into perspective.
• A few months later, he issued his breakthrough Afroswing hit “Addison Lee,” which exploded on the internet and landed him a deal with Relentless Records.
• Rereleased in 2017 as his debut single, “Addison Lee” went gold in the UK and earned MOBO nominations for Best Song and Best Newcomer.
• His 2017 debut EP, Take Not3s, boasted the gold-certified “Aladdin” and the platinum-certified “My Lover.” Tinie Tempah and Shakka guest on the track “No Drama.”
• Soon after making BBC Music’s Influential Sound of 2018 longlist, Not3s delivered his sophomore EP, Take Not3s II, a Top 20 UK hit.
