Nuclear Dro: from Debonair Wit, track released 21 August 2009 Music sampled from “Stickman Theme Song” written and produced by John Gray and Joe Pierscionek. Beat sampled from “Spin Around” performed by Notebook Noise, Written by Jeff Mroz, John Gray and Frank Clayton. https://notebooknoise.bandcamp.com/track/nuclear-dro

lyrics by J. Mroz aka Thaddues James:
As epic as the blank page taunting my snarl, my notebooks like Lenny and my pen is like Carl. You ain’t ever gon’ believe what Ned had said, he told Rod to skip Todd and pass to him instead. They were with poor sad Kirk Van Houten, Now Flanders did his best but Kirk was still poutin’. Bart and Millhouse watched it from Ned’s yellow submarine, Homer only gets drunk and your dad goes green. Millhouse started feelin’ like he was pretty cool, He couldn’t wait to brag the next day at school. Then Bart reminded him about Otto in his attic, when he was with Homer and Marge was causin’ static. They were up there puffin’ on that Nuclear Dro, and she would much rather see Homer drunk with Moe. And I’m guessin’ that’s because he is also a surgeon, I’m off to Kwik-E-Mart it’s time to do some splurging’. Butter up that Bacon Boy Butter up that Bacon Bacon. I grab my six pack of Duff and my change from Apu, Then in walked Snake the famous one man crew (Ha Ha). Give me all your blunts, I wanna roll some bombers, I just ganked a QP off of Superintendent Chalmers. Then he pulled out a bag of sticky green and orange hairs, Told me I could come cos’ I wasn’t holdin’ foreign beers. And then he asked if I knew Selma and Patty, They got RDA and they wanna smoke a fatty. I got nothing against MacGyver but that party sounded lame, So of course I’m gonna gank him he don’t even know my name. Before I knew it Jimbo Jones had him on the ground, Cos’ he’s the one who fronted Chalmers the quarter pound. Put his foot on his chest I ain’t no Shelbyville sucker, And now ya know I aint no Capitol City clucker. I’m Jimbo Jones nobody smokes for free, even Chief Wiggum has to come through me. Butter up that Bacon Boy… I sidle pass Kearney and tap Jimbo on the shoulder, what’s it gonna take to be that green bag holder? He said 14 plus my sixer of Duff, I got no problem with the beer but 14 sounded rough. I told him 12 hundo was as high as I’d go, and I’d cop the same tomorrow so you know this aint show. From two towns over my nickname’s Mr. Slate, I aint no Barney Rubble I move serious weight. He said talks cheep and he needed to hear cash, I point to the Canyonero it’s sittin’ on the dash. I hop in the front seat I’m bout to grab the money, Then I see Nelson and Dolph and I start feelin funny. I started up the truck I’m not about to get jacked, If they come any closer little Jimbo is getting smacked. Just then Snake ran out holdin’ up his heaters, I punched Jimbo in the eye and grabbed the weed from his dick beaters.

Nuclear Dro Acapella 90bpm

If you remix this acapella please post as: Notebook Noise - High Times (your name remix)
Lyrics written by: J. Mroz aka Thaddeus James
Original track: https://notebooknoise.bandcamp.com/track/high-times
from Debonair Wit by Notebook Noise,
released 21 August 2009 Live drum loop sample from “Scratch Interlude” performed by Notebook Noise, Written by Jeff Mroz, John Gray and Frank Clayton. 

Lyrics:
Here we go smack clack two whole dollars one for your forehead and one for your back smack. Oh no Noise is rhyming dirty, don’t leave your girl around or she gon’ get hot and flirty. Yeah right bald skinny and 5’6, No wonder he tatted up his tooth picks. Metaphors debonair on the rhyme, Rockin’ stoned college students like CD’s by Sublime. Is that the last beer is it mines or yours? Go ahead and take it drunk spinning floors. I keep more rhyme than that hydro keeps crystals, or heat wave summer time fills water pistols. Imma say it slick without and with the EE, First I’ll say quick and then I’ll say quickly. I call ‘em booger mouth cos’ they rhyme all crusty, they got that Pledge rap and they rhyme all dusty. High Times vs. the corner baggy blues, there’s cause and effect in everything you choose. High Times vs. the corner baggy blues, Are you the elite fleet or still paying dues? High Times vs. the corner baggy blues, Unafraid of life and unafraid to lose. High Times vs. the corner baggy blues, High Times it goes High Times. Rhyming in a wayward manner, I like my Bob Saget less Danny Tanner. I like my Kirstie Alley about 20lbs wider, I’m trying to get famous so I could maybe get inside her. Sorry if that sound wrong and yous a lady viewer, Let me take two lines to get my mind out the sewer. A manure skewer is a shit sticker, I’m a truer doer and a little quicker. Like breathing and other such daily chores, I keep trying to find a way to unlock doors. Write rhymes like it’s the final draft, Unafraid to edit cos’ its part of the craft. My name is Thaddeus I’m gonna get duskets, Get a brand new Benz and fill it up with buskets. Say what ya want I get repeat traffic, was never good at art I had to make rhymes graphic. High Times… I’m saying calm my soul and awaken my heart, I’m saying cool this rage and God bless this start. Scratch my wood and get up outta bed, Repeat that prayer and try and level my head. Take the ritual and make it into regiment, every step and breath are taken with the same intent. Find a way to live and a better way to win, against the penance and price and the debt of sin. Clean slate is often too unattainable, when negative thought is so damn sustainable. Everybody’s hustling and most of us are running red, Running hot and the tires are losing tread. Live within your means meaning live with less, that might help the world but that’s just my guess. Slow way down I’m saying slow way down everybody’s gotta slow way down.

High Times Acapella 114Bpm

Notebook Noise - Eagerly Beavered (your name remix)

Original track: https://notebooknoise.bandcamp.com/track/eagerly-beavered

Lyrics written by: J. Mroz aka Thaddeus James
Everybody move back, don’t sing along, I don’t want this to be your new favorite song, I don’t wanna tell ya how you’re feelin’ today, So don’t put any weight in anything I say. Eagerly beavered I’ll be damned, my wood got wet, Mother earth got jammed. Distraction from a lookie-lou while the pocket man is pickin’ you. Slim slickery he’s a bit of an eel, Squirmy worm with a slippery feel. Sly bugger and thought quite nefarious, Fairytale but the query is quite serious. Dim but day lit cast the face shadow, Blur to the world he wore his cap mad low. Footsteps, street sounds muddy water coffee ground at the bottom of two cups sit’s the dregs, like the last few seeds from a bag of regs. It aint dank cos’ that’s a whole other thing, Do you get your fresh water from the sewer or the spring. Where did you come from and how did you make it? What have you been building how fast can we break it? F the crate in 08’ I’m living outside the box, I’m opposite George with my new building blocks. Drop it right down like a burger on a grill, don’t move to fast and don’t stand still. I’ve said a lot of things and I’ve paid a lot of mind, damaged ear drums for this gift of grind. It’s not fair trade if you weren’t told the consequence, the compromise to promise lies just never seemed to make sense. I may or may not choose to run, But like Wayne and Bird like my daddy I stun’ (stuntin’ like my daddy). That’s ridiculous that’s a whole lotta gash, this aint your mom and dad’s it’s a whole other stash. So what’s up what’s good how is it? How longs it been since the last bad visit? Everybody move back…

Notebook Noise - The Art Of Throwing ft. Knowledgeborn07 (your name remix)

Original track: https://notebooknoise.bandcamp.com/track/the-art-of-throwing-ft-knowledgeborn07

lyrics written by J. Mroz and Knowledgeborn07
You might access the axis of my prime meridian, but you won’t ever hear some kid sayin’ Noise is on some shit again. Rhymes irregular but rhyme thought comparable, Now 07 and I are inner twinned on a parable. Right and left ears for the headphones placement, the only thing cliché is that I’m rhyming in a basement. Call it the dank cellar the way we hang crop, once you hit it one time son the high won’t stop. The stress of my day finds balance on a track, the ears go side to side and we rhyme front to back. Side to side front to back is a nice revolution, and we’re rhyming brick to brick for this heightened institution. That’s language that’s life that’s everything heart, nobody cares if it’s sharp if the darts not smart. Stay humble stay focused stay all things true, Yo peace Knowledge microphone check one-two. Without our headphones we feel kinda schitzo, without that prime meridian our equators wouldn’t sit so, we rhyme lime green so hit our tracks like joints, Here at the reckoning we give darts points. 

(Knowledgeborn07) 

Stay upon my axis, when we rhyme it’s like mathematics, never fallin' off the track it’s like tongue twisting acrobatics, flipping words straight from the soul to change the state of mind behold, you too can have control as long as you can shape and mold using art to relieve tension that demands the crowd’s attention not pretending what is mentioned over tracks for intervention positive is how we keep for the youths so they can reap it not forgetting how we're free its beautiful to live so be it, if you can think it then you’re ablelay your cards down on the table, if you’re stuck then listen upcause this could be your jumper cables, I felt just like Clark Gable when it happened one night, photographically my mind reminds my stomach of that appetite, I couldn’t put down that mic so now I dance over these beats chanting down racists plagues who hide behind their white sheets coalescing nations to be patient when I write my pen just bleeds heart and soul I shape and mold so when I go you'll still have feet

Notebook Noise cashed in on the iconic artwork of 2012’s release Strange Tongue that featured front man Thaddeus James riding the neck of a giraffe. He used the momentum from music blog posts and released Strange Tongue's acapellas and instrumentals as: The Giraffter Party Acapellas & Instrumentals. The online response from producers remixing the acapellas was far greater than Thaddeus could’ve ever anticipated. Remixes have been coming in from all over the planet on a regular basis. A solid representation of this response can be seen on the final installment of the Strange Tongue trilogy: Giraffter Hours. Graphic artist Joe Sampson did an amazing job on all three album covers. And of course the trilogy is free and features production from John Gray aka Johnny Cosmic 

Thaddeus James has also released #PhenomenalCake. It’s not quite an album, but bigger than an EP and in the style of a mixtape. Instrumentals for the project were selected from Soundcloud and Bandcamp. #PhenomenalCake features a two track intro by Burt The Turtle. He raps into a tin can and loves a turtle named Ruby. The remaining 7 tracks play out like a soundtrack to a party at the turtle's lake house. When Thaddeus wasn’t writing as a turtle or rapping as himself about cake, he was also rapping about breast milk and being too old to yolo. Long time collaborator Asa Phelps continues to send instrumentals and Thaddeus is writing as quickly as Asa is sending them. The collection of tracks between the two will be released under the title Shits Creek. Expect to hear the introspective, soul-searching rhymes you’ve grown to love from Notebook Noise. Thaddeus has also teamed up with Polish based record label Awesome Music Place to put out an EP and has worked as a writer for the label as well penning a song for Kaja Czulewicz.  There is also a new project in the works between Thaddeus James and Vin Rizzo aka Rizzly Bear on production. 

The group has come a long way from Snares, Hooks and RhymeBooks, the debut that landed them on URB’s Next 1000 list back in 2008. The guys followed that up with 2009’s Debonair Wit, which earned them ‘leak of the week’ accolades from ThePier.org for the song “The Art of Throwing ft. Knowledgeborn07”. In February 2010 Notebook Noise started officially playing live and by October they had landed on WGN for a morning spot promoting the event Fashion Mash that took place at Double Door and Flat Iron Art Institute. With the release of 2012’s Strange Tongue; Notebook Noise was featured on several music blogs and even some food blogs for the daddy/daughter duet Cookies ft. LULUTRON.  Releasing the acapellas has even gotten Thaddeus’ vocals mashed up with Polish emcees and an emcee from Japan and many others. You can even catch some kids from the UK skateboarding on youtube to NN instrumentals. Here’s to the future.
