He was the former lead vocalist and one of the creative forces behind the hip-hop/reggae group Born Jamericans.[1] He has featured on albums such as Mas Flow 2, Mas Flow 2.5, El Documental, Barrio Fino, and The Cosmic Game. His first solo album, Raised by the People, was released in May 2007. BiographyEarly lifeNotch's mother is of Puerto Rican, Native American, Portuguese, and African-American descent. His father was born in Jamaica and is of Afro-Cuban and French descent. Howell's parents separated when he was still an infant. He spent his early years with his mother, living in Hartford, Connecticut. Howell grew up in a multicultural neighborhood and learned Spanish because most of his friends at that time were of Hispanic descent. He left Connecticut to live with his father in Washington, D.C., when he was nine years old. Notch also spent a short time in Bermuda before moving back to Washington, D.C., where he lived until his early twenties. CareerNotch is fluent in American English, Jamaican Patois, and Spanish. He mixes all three dialects and languages in some songs, a mixture he calls "Spatoinglish." Notch has worked with Daddy Yankee, Luny Tunes, Voltio, Baby Ranks, Thievery Corporation, Sublime, Pitbull, T-Weaponz, and Rascalz. Notch has provided vocals on several Thievery Corporation songs, including the title track on "The Richest Man in Babylon," "Amerimacka," "Blasting Through the City," and "Strike the Root."
