3 Feet High & Rising: Scottish Beat-maker Ikant Noh Releases First Two Instrumental Hip-Hop Tracks "Ro" & "wAY" (@IkantNoh)


Ikant Noh (@IkantNoh) is a rather mysterious beat-maker, producer, and musician based out of Scotland, UK. Just this past weekend, as a matter of fact, @IkantNoh started Following me on Twitter, I saw that he had recently posted an Instrumental Hip-Hop beat, and had some interaction with The Witzard regular @Charles_Edison. While this is Ikant Noh's first foray into Hip-Hop, he's been a long-time musician; having previously created and released Indie Rock and Electro/Synth-Pop style music, but has "now landed in the world of Hip-Hop." Ikant Noh says he has drawn musical inspiration and influence from Kendrick Lamar, JAY-Z, and Eazy-E, as well as beat tapes from NIKK BLVKK, Kuartz, Tōfu-kozō Records from France, and kick a dope verse! from Russia. "I really think the genre of Instrumental Hip-Hop and beats is all about the "small guys" and I try to spend as much time finding new stuff as I do making my own," Ikant Noh explained to The Witzard, via email. Ikant was born and raised in Aberdeen, Scotland and labels himself as a "Beat-taper Nae [Not] Jazzy & Lyricist Nae Fancy," as per his newly-launched Twitter header.


"I continue my life by writing beats, long, short, it doesn't matter, as long as they are melodic and danceable." Ikant Noh says he's merely releasing "some quality demos, at the moment," but plans to release a proper 10-track beat tape before year's end. Noh readily labels his music on Bandcamp as glasgow, hip-hop/rap, instrumental hip-hop, soul, beats, instrumental hip-hop beat tape, lofi hiphop, and United Kingdom. Ikant Noh's first released track, "Ro," is a subdued Electronic-leaning Inst. Hip-Hop accented with various whirls and wobbles, which sounds akin to Clams Casino meets The Postal Service. "wAY," Ikant's second track in just as many days, is a bit more Hip-Hop-leaning with samples, echoed vocals, and more standard go-to Rap sound effects throughout, although, still maintaining that same Electro/Synth-Pop-leaning aesthetic. Both "Ro" & "wAY" (or "Way") are now available to stream or download on Ikant Noh's Bandcamp & Soundcloud pages. For regular updates concerning his music, as-yet-to-be-released beat tapes, and current listenings, Follow @IkantNoh on Twitter.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
