Album Notes

Noah Webster Wark a.k.a. Noah Dub was born to produce great music. At age 5 his guitar lessons and Michigan’s diverse music scene began stimulating him with a passion to perform. By 13, he formed a reggae/hip-hop band called Crystal Wine, and performed in school dances, but it was when his performing continued into high school that he developed a talent for “ripping freestyle rhymes.” He quickly became a well-known performer at house parties and other local venues such as Ann Arbor’s Blind Pig and The Neutral Zone where people were awed by his ability to improvise poetic raps. Notes became words and melodies became thoughts as he ripped his way into a band called Vesperception, who performed with local acts like Funktelligence. After a short yet strong performance career in Ann Arbor, Vesperception split-up and Noah relocated to Wisconsin. With him he brought his powerful flow and memorable stage presence, which won him 5 consecutive freestyle battles at large venues like Wisconsin’s Drop-Fest 04’. To promote his solo career he built his own studio and recorded his first demo and two indie EPs, as well as collaborating with recording artists: He Can Jog, Bad News Jones and international Sony DJ Akshai Sarin. Now, in an attempt to reclaim his status as one of Ann Arbor’s greatest emcees, he returned home with his catchy choruses and hardcore hip-hop verses to claim his stake. Jay Frey of Paradise Artists says, “Noah Dub is the only performer [he’d] come out of retirement to work with.” With this, his professional presence and uncanny talent is ready to take Michigan by storm. Whether you hear him on disc or on stage he promises to be spitting some of the best rhymes ever heard.
