A Drill Anthem for the Ages
I first heard GOAT after chatting with Renee, CEO of THR33 UP MUSIC – a dynamic record label that excels in artist management and distribution. She’s a huge fan of Notti – a UK based artist who from an early age has adapted his street experiences into hard-hitting beats and introspective lyrics. This mysterious artist is right at the beginning of his career – the future looks bright!
This week in the spotlight, we’re featuring this talented musician and his track, “GOAT”.

When did you write your first lyrics/music and how different is it from the lyrics/music you are writing today?
I started writing from a very young age, I think I was 6 when I first wrote and over time been writing on and off since, but I think over the past couple years I’ve been learning how to improve my music today, in terms of wordplay, flows & rhymes.
How did your style develop or evolve?
I feel like my style kind of evolved with myself, going through certain experiences I’ve had growing up.
Which kind of music/artists do you enjoy listening to and how has that shaped your own music/sound?
Tbh I listen to a lot of artists, from all types of genres & I feel like I kinda get inspired from everybody and has definitely improved my music.
Tell us about GOAT, what inspired it, and what is the meaning behind the song?
Goat was inspired by a numerous things, coming up into the music scene and trying to implement & balance different things I’ve dealt with during this journey.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered as a new artist in the music industry?
To be honest, in regards of problems, it’s more just learning the process & trying to establish that whilst wanting to be consistent.
If you could summon one musician back from the dead to collaborate with, who would it be? Why? What do you think you would create?
If I could bring back one artist, it would be Tupac, he has always been an inspiration of mine & I feel like creatively we could make powerful music together.
Do you believe music matters? Why?
I believe music matters because it’s therapy to a lot of musicians and listeners, not only is it a reflection of self it’s something that can get you through anything any emotion any timing there’s always going to be a song or style that’s for you, and that’s the beauty of music and that there’s always going to be new songs to be heard and made everyday no matter how many songs have been developed.
