At Notes, we believe in empowering independent urban music artists and creators to take control of their creative journeys, financial futures, and careers. The music industry is evolving, and so are the needs of those driving the culture forward. Many face challenges accessing the capital they need to fund their projects, navigating the complex world of financial literacy, and maintaining independence from restrictive, exploitative record deals.

That’s where Notes steps in.

We are more than just a platform—we’re a movement designed to bridge the gap between the creative and financial worlds. By providing access to funding, offering free financial literacy and entrepreneurship education, and leveraging cutting-edge AI tools, we empower creators to build sustainable careers on their terms.

What makes Notes unique is our focus on the urban music industry, driven by the ethos of Hip-Hop legend and cultural icon RAKIM. As our Co-Founder and Brand Ambassador, RAKIM’s legacy of financial independence and artistic integrity serves as the foundation for Notes
