Dominick Lamb better known by his stage name, Nottz is a music producer, writer and rapper from Norfolk, Virginia, U.S.. He sometimes extends his executive name to Nottz Raw.
History
Nottz has produced for some of the biggest names in hip hop including Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, The Game, Notorious B.I.G., Scarface, J Dilla, and G-Unit. Some of his earliest production work was on the Rawkus Records compilation Lyricist Lounge, Volume One, in 1998. From there he landed three tracks on Busta Rhymes' Extinction level Event LP, after Rhymes stumbled across one of his beat tapes.
Like many other hip hop producers to emerge before the 2000s, Nottz borrows samples from old soul records and old movies soundtracks to reconstruct into new beats. West Coast hip hop icon, Dr. Dre, has named Nottz as one of his favourite producers, and has selected him as one of the few guest producers on his much delayed, yet anticipated Detox album.
Nottz also has a group called D.M.P., which stands for "Durte Muzik Prahdukshun". They released a E.P. in 2004 and a full length album on Koch Records, titled Nottz Presents D.M.P., in 2005.
Nottz will be releasing his 1st solo album this coming year for 2010. The album will feature Nottz as an MC as well as a producer. He is also working on Westcoast rapper Snoop Dogg new album and The Game on his new album The Red Album, after having 3 of his beats on The Game's last two albums Doctor's Advocate, and LAX.
