Kane Beatz Lists Nas, Lil Wayne, & Bei Maejor As His Favorite Artists To Work With
February 9, 2011
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH KANE BEATZ from DERICK G on Vimeo.
Well that’s a collaboration I didn’t see happening. The Lupe/Kane track made sense as the majority of Kane’s bigger placements have either been for Young Money or an artist on Atlantic Records.

Nottz Talks To Mixtape Daily About The Rawth EP
February 5, 2011
Nottz sat down with MTV’s Mixtape Daily to speak about about his collaborative project with Asher, “The Rawth EP”.
Here’s a little bit of what he had to say.
“Gotta Get Up” (featuring D.A. Wallach of Chester French): “That was for Asher’s new album that’s coming out. It was surprising because he sent me the joint and said he got D.A. on the hook. At the time, I didn’t know who D.A. was. I thought, ‘Wow, this is crazy.’ I did my research and I found out who it was. Then D.A. hit me and asked for a bunch of beats and he would do hooks. So we [were] just waiting on that. D.A. is a good dude. Asher knows a lot of people, I know a lot of people and we just came together and used what we had [to put this project together].”
