NOE - "Hurry Up" (mp3)
Jim Jones, Mel Matrix and NOE - "New York City Boyz" (mp3)
NOE (aka Noe Money or Noe $ or Noes) is this cat that Juan Donovan from Darkroom Productions was telling me about recently, he's from Baltimore but moved to New York a while back and just signed with Diplomat Records. "New York City Boyz" is from the new Kay Slay mixtape hosted by Jim Jones, Look Both Ways Before You Cross Me. And you might not've heard of NOE before, but you might've heard his voice before, if you remember a few years ago when everyone was waiting on The Black Album, and there was this one track called ".45" that people were saying was the new Jay-Z, but it turned out to be a hoax. Well, the track was actually a Universal Records single by Thug City f/ Noes, and everyone thought NOE was Jay. And he definitely does sound like Jay, but I don't think he was trying to flaunt it or fool people like that Angelous cat, people just got confused. If you check his MySpace page, though, he does a freestyle over "Dead Presidents" and talks about the similiarity a little. I dunno, Dipset might get some flak for signing someone who sounds like Jay now that they're beefing with him, though. He's got some hot lines, though, "pure poetry, two guns, one just a little bigger than the other like Floetry," haha.
