[1] Some of Nottz's earliest production work was on the Rawkus Records compilation Lyricist Lounge, Volume One, in 1998.
Like many other hip hop producers to emerge before the 2000s, Nottz samples from old (primarily soul) records and film soundtracks to reconstruct new beats.
Nottz also worked with rapper Asher Roth on the collaborative Rawth EP, released as a free download, on December 27, 2010, under Raw Koncept and School Boy.
On June 15, 2012, Nottz and Kardinal Offishall released the collaborative mixtape A.M.T.R.I.M., which was offered as a free download.
That same year, Nottz worked with Kanye West to produce Pusha T's Nosetalgia, which features fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar.
