Crystal Notez | The Soulful Voice
Crystal Notez is a multifaceted independent singer, songwriter, and performance artist who has become a prominent figure in the New Jersey arts community, particularly within Plainfield and Newark.
Drawing deep inspiration from her aunt, the legendary R&B icon Ruth Brown, Crystal blends soulful melodies with impactful storytelling to create music that resonates with themes of positivity and empowerment.
Beyond her vocal talent, she is a Certified Reiki Master and the visionary behind "Crystal’s Music Box," where she fosters local talent through initiatives like Newark's first acoustic guitar meet-ups.

The Partnership
The collaboration between New Jersey vocalist Crystal Notez and New York hip-hop veteran Prolific Wone marks a powerful intersection of soulful melody and raw, urban storytelling on the 2025 album, BLVKC. Crystal Notez lends her signature vocal depth to two standout tracks, "DO IT AGAIN" and "NY 2XS" (featuring DJ Vinyl Richie), providing a melodic contrast to Prolific Wone’s sharp, conscious lyricism.
This partnership bridges the creative energy of the North Jersey and NYC arts scenes, blending elements of classic R&B with soulful hip-hop production.
By contributing to the BLVKC project—an album dedicated to exploring the soul of the city and human experience—Crystal Notez solidifies her role as a versatile collaborator capable of elevating modern hip-hop with her authentic, soulful sound.
