about
A clear nod to the now-disbanded BROCKHAMPTON, this track was one of the few songs with a plan from the start. Novuh had the title in a bar saved on his phone for the longest time, and it eventually found its way into the studio (shoutout Crowd Noise). I knew from the beginning that NOTHAMPTON needed to exist — and that it needed to feature everyone.

The only reason Twohead isn’t on it? I didn’t want him to show up the rest of the crew with his elite bars.

Originally, the beat had a grimier, trap-heavy feel — but as the album took shape, it felt too aggressive. So during what ended up being our final group session at the studio, I scrapped it entirely. Everyone re-recorded their verses over a new instrumental. No hook. Just bars. It became a true cypher.

4EYES closes the track perfectly with lines like “close the curtains” and “Nesty done chopped the tape like a surgeon” — fitting, since I was literally performing surgery on the session as he wrote that.

NOTHAMPTON is the final track on the album, and it feels like the right send-off — a powerful, collective statement from the artists who shaped this project.

This whole thing feels like sending a kid off to college. I love it deeply, but get out of my house so I can start the next chapter. (I’m 22, no kids, didn’t go to college, so I may be off — my parents can fact-check.)

Thanks again for listening. EARTHTONES Forever.
– Nesty 

NOTHAMPTON

YEAME2 features artists Jonny Lovelle and Twohead. I don't have much to say about this track, really. It's a feel good, windows down type track with a very catchy hook. One thing I learned through the process of this album is that both Jonny and Twohead respectfully are cheat codes in their own right. The songs on the album would not be what they are without the presence of them both. With that in mind, you can only imagine that any time they get on a track together, it's going to be special. This is one of two tracks on the project that feature this duo, the other being *Say My Name*, which I feel like is the strongest one.

Pay attention to the themes I mentioned for *Baggage Claim*, as well as some of the ambient noises sprinkled throughout this track and immerse yourself into it.

Liner notes by Nesty:

New Waves is a proper introduction to all of the featured artists on *EARTHTONES Volume One*. When I had my Redford studio space in 2023-2024, this was the song we created on the first day the studio was open, right after finishing setting everything up. I didn't even have a proper mic stand yet. Everyone who is on the track was in the room for the entire creation of the song, and it was truly the first time everyone locked in together. The versatility of the different artists featured really shows on *New Waves*.

I take pride in the way I was able to bring people together in this space during its life span. Artists like Jonny Lovelle and Novuh Kaine might not have ever became as close as they are today if it wasn't for getting them in the room every Sunday (this was our weekly group session) and allowing everyone to challenge each other to become a better version of themselves than last time. It became a competitive environment and we all created some of our best work during that time. Everyone had a seat at the table, and we were able to keep on creating regardless of how many chairs we had that day. It was beautiful because it was a table that I had built and brought to reality, and I didn't even know its potential.

I'll save the other stories for their respective tracks, but for now, I hope you enjoy New Waves, the official introduction to my universe, EARTHTONES.

New Waves

Late to the Party was created during the back half of the studio's life. This track features Jonny Lovelle, Novuh Kaine, and for the first time on the project, Blu Maroon.

Blu is a close friend of Novuh and started coming up to the studio a lot towards the end. I like having him on the album because his voice is very unique and deep, which creates a really good contrast against artists like Jonny and Novuh, who tend to ride in higher registers.

This track is really an anti-party track. LIke, why would we invite you to the party if you didn't bring shit? Not only that, but you were late?! Now you want to eat my bean dip? Yeah, right!

Sorry, I was getting a little into it there. Nothing else to say, really. I like the effects I put on Jonny's hook. For the audio nerds out there, I used the Little Alter Boy plugin to mess with the formant. Before I had that plugin, I used AVOX Throat by Antares. I recommend LAB, because it's a one time buy.

This track is also the halfway point of the album. I like when albums are 7 tracks long because there can be a true middle song. It helps if you're trying to create a sharp shift in dynamic.

Late to the Party

Baggage Claim was created shortly after the studio was opened. It features artists Jonny Lovelle and Novuh Kaine. You're gonna see Jonny's name on every track on the album, by the way, and I hope you get used to his presence early, because it's the glue that holds the project together. Some of the most versatile and creative super glue, though.

This is the "only" track that features my own vocals (you can try to find my hidden vocals on other songs if you'd like but I'm not going to tell you what they are). I'm playing the role of a Pilot on a plane to a warm, tropical vacation. Jonny and Novuh are the first-class passengers on *Midwest Airlines* (a nod to Jonny and I's 2023 track of the same name) There is a rough theme or story for the album; not in the lyrics themselves, but if you think of the songs' themes it's kind of like a vacation -- and I think the project feels like one too.

I think what makes this song unique is it's a true lyrical extravaganza, yet the song feels more mainstream. There is no hook on the song, rather the two verses are introduced and split up by an interlude-type performance by the Pilot. For a while, this was my favorite track on the project (that has yet changed, but I won't tell you why).

Liner notes by Twohead and Nesty:


Twohead:
Creating "Say My Name" was like a fever dream. Late night. I honestly don't remember most of the session. We ordered a crave case at 3am. Thats how I knew nobody was leaving until the song was finished. Caffeine, white castle, music. Good times.

Nesty:
The crave case from white castle was really crazy. I think that session was the most connected I've ever felt to a piece of music I was creating. It was like there was no wrong that could have been done; I had full faith in every idea Jonny and Twohead had to contribute to the track. Both of them added key parts of production in the outro as well. Their voices play off of eachother so well, it's crazy.

Say My Name

Sun is Down

Aiming above noses red dot lined up I’m taking out third eyes 
Most double 0’s at MI6 watch the sky fall she taking off my bow tie 
Living royale got a bank like casinos bondwith pacas de billetes 
Weaken my competition take your whole team out tactics of los Pepes 
My migos be aware of the sweeties take off on ya leave ya off set like quavo 
Hoes been hoes since Larry the guy was on cable, weeknd was Abel
Before Christ had 12 at that table 
Magic at forum mamba at staple 
On a run made that decisions to cut off the bracelet around my ankle 
Manchester & London we in it by end of the year stamp my passport 
Quinn & Rhymes get buckets drop dimes damn… what a backcourt 
P.A. ball like S.G.A. & Chet OK you C

Talking my smack like I’m Ant & you K.D. taking the torch no need for your pass 
Your favorite rapper was at diddy’s crib getting nails painted talking with some sass 
Bunny hops and drunken hugs ain’t for me 
Rhymes Chuck Norris mixed with Bruce Lee
Run 7 min drills  drop & gimme fifty 
Rush him for the drop on 10 Mississippi 

Slide slide make them duck no FBG 
Don’t be that goose when they let them loose in my city
Truth ain’t pretty 
I told ya before and I’ll tell you again 
We HotBox Sparrin’ searching 
You ain’t leave the city you never will
Any newborn rappers leave them still

Quinn & Rhymes get buckets drop dimes. 
Fam..We that backcourt
