You'll pick up intricate details in the stories they tell each time you listen to Plotting & Scheming, and we're premiering the track right now!
Noddy's only been rapping since February 2022, but he draws from a wealth of life experiences (both legal and illegal) to build his verses. There's a sense of conviction in every bar that Noddy delivers which can't be faked - when he says that he spends his time Plotting & Scheming, you'll believe him.
Plotting & Scheming will feature on Noddy No Mask's upcoming mixtape, 247, which is set to drop on August 5th. Speaking about the project, Noddy says, "That’s what art is, you keep it as truthful and as honest as possible, and where the artistry comes in is making your story sound interesting with lyricism."
The eight-track project came to life in four sessions spread over 10 days, and the title comes from the telephone keypad numeric version of BGS. BGS is a tag used by Noddy and his close friends, and it's taken on a range of meanings over the years, including "Brothers Going Strong" and "Busy Getting Stacks".
