Audio: $NOT – “Sangria” ft. Denzel Curry

Critical Praise:

“He’s well on his way to being one of the next independent rappers to make a mainstream splash… $NOT’s got a very particular kind of charisma, and one single at a time, everything’s clicking.” – Pigeons & Planes

“With Billie Eilish and ‘Euphoria’ co-signs, rapper $not is a Gen Z star in making” – Los Angeles Times

“Snot — stylized $not — is a quintessential South Florida SoundCloud rapper, brimming with the sarcastic, devil-may-care attitude of his peers with perhaps a bit more polish.” – UPROXX

“$NOT’s ‘Pressure’ Reveals a Changing Tide in Hip Hop…His nonchalant flow and reserved style does not diminish his dark, heavy lyrics and straight-to-it delivery.” – Teen Vogue

“The 22-year-old rapper has become a Gen-Z superstar—from boasting millions of streams on SoundCloud, being featured on HBO’s hit series Euphoria, receiving shoutouts from Billie Eilish and Drake (Bell), to becoming a staple on TikTok and Triller, you can find the rapper just about everywhere. With a flow that matches his calm demeanor, $not intertwines his deadpan delivery with themes of humor, love and sadness, all over ethereal bass-ladened beats to produce a sound that has garnered him widespread traction” – OFFICE Mag

The Song:

Known for his tightly-wrapped hoodie and his indelible hooks, Florida rhymer $NOT commands a cult following with his sharply-written anti-social jams. Teaming up with Denzel Curry, a kindred spirit and fellow South Florida-born trickster, $NOT shares “Sangria,“ his propulsive new single. Marked by a hypnotic flute riff and trampoline 808s from producer Powers Pleasant (Juice WRLD, Joey Bada$$), “Sangria” is a pugilistic and hedonistic heat rock. Plowing through the halting percussion with an unbreakable flow, $NOT gives a stern warning to steppers: “Yo, I’m all up in my bag/Please step back/This could be a murder case I pull up with a mac.” In his verse, Denzel Curry complements $NOT’s deadpan with a hyperactive delivery, toe-tagging the beat with a rising cadence: “I came up with the sauce, I feel like Kel Mitchell/Drake on the side, I’m runnin’ with y’all’s nickels.” Premiered by Zane Lowe for Apple Music’s Beats 1, “Sangria” is the latest single from Beautiful Havoc, $NOT’s upcoming album.

The follow-up to his March 2020 album – TRAGEDY +, which featured hits like “Beretta” ft. wifisfuneral (23 million Spotify streams) and “Moon & Stars” ft. Maggie Lindemann (40 million Spotify streams), Beautiful Havoc digs deep into the 22-year-old rapper’s misanthropy, interrogating how and why he retreats into his tightly-wrapped hoodie. The album offers a bright and diverse sonic palette, allowing $NOT to showcase his elite melodic instincts and provide a contrast to his dark, self-hating lyrics. The album is home to the bouncy loner’s anthem “Revenge” (5 million views) and the sly Flo Milli collab “Mean” (2 million views). $NOT connected with Cole Bennett to create a 2-part music video series featuring the two songs, premiered on his Lyrical Lemonade YouTube channel. Featuring an additional guest appearance from iann dior, Beautiful Havoc arrives on October 30th via 300 Ent.

With over 4.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, $NOT has earned co-signs from the likes of Billie Eilish, and his song “Billy Boy” appeared in an episode of HBO’s Euphoria. $NOT completed a successful tour in Q1 2020, selling out venues across the country. Most recently, $NOT shared “Can You Help Me,“ a defiant track that calls out racism and supports the Black Lives Matter movement.
