When I say "UPPA", Ya'll say "NOTCH"!!!

About Me

Danon and Hosannah combine science with sociology to bring the caliber of hip hop UPPANOTCH. Danon is a Queens native with a sharp tongue capable of decimating a speaker. You can feel his life experience in his rhymes, and he’s gifted in everything from the art of story telling to straight lyrical spitfire: "could take six bars, make it an anthem- F the SOURCE I want my face on the moon, like Ralph Kramden- these ain’t delusions of grandeur- hat tilted like black panthers, the flow is chemotherapy- guess the beat is the cancer." Hosannah was born in England , and came to New York in ’83. Raised by hip hop, the kid is slick with the gift. The word play is ridiculous- pay attention, you might miss su’m Hosannah finds a way to hold the track hostage- he’d rather surround it than be on top of it: "Link subjects through rough text- pen a curse on a scroll and have the verse plaguing listeners I provide the spirit through words that grasps parishioners and make em give ten percent of they folds to buy innocence..." Danon and Hosannah use different rhyme style and technique to touch your eardrums. Pay close attention to their talent on the debut album, entitled: NO GREATER LOVE

Today’s Entertainment

If I hit work and my stomach growls, I do something about it. Today was such an occasion. There is a cafeteria on site, so hunger quenching is an easy task. I copped bran muffin, as well as a green te...

Can’t See...

Those of you who know me know where I am, but you may not fully conceptualize where I am. There are countless mirrors in my field of view, yet I can't see me. Understand what I say- my vision is 20/20...

Prejudice

It seems like the easy way out to look at things on the surface and take what the common eye sees as the whole truth- this spawns judgement- pre judgement. By prejudging the world that exists outside ...

Babies...

Given the relatively small size and innocence of babies after they are born, it's interesting to see that they really force thier way into this world at the moment that they choose...Hosannah...
