Lukman Olanrewaju Odunaike[1] (born 17 April 1998), better known by his stage name Not3s (pronounced Notes), is an English rapper and singer from Hackney, London. His songs include "My Lover" and "Fine Line", both of which are collaborations with Mabel.[2][3][4]

His breakthrough song, "Addison Lee", has been described as a viral hit, achieving 17 million views on GRM Daily and has achieved much publicity for the singer.[5][6][7] The song, which takes its name from the London-based ride sharing firm, achieved such popularity that Not3s was invited to the firm's Christmas party in KOKO to perform the song.[8]

He was nominated for the BBC Sound of 2018.[9]
