Whitey is an ongoing solo project by N.J. Whitey. He is a hard character to pin down- his genre-twisting songs swing wildly between styles, and his dismissive attitude towards the music industry means there are few shows, and even fewer interviews. He has to date had no major record deal, but has still released over 30 records under a variety of names. Yet without any significant industry investment his distinctive sounds have broken through to mainstream daytime radio in the U.S and elsewhere, and for four straight years his music has been a fixture from rock clubs to fashion runways, from movie soundtracks to television, computer games to skate films. From Japan to Iceland, Moscow to Hollywood. From Breaking Bad to the Sopranos to Grand Theft Auto. Gradually this cult U.K. artist has built a strange home in the shadowy ground between high fashion and mainstream entertainment, between pop radio and what little is left of the underground. An outsider who relishes this status, and celebrates this outsider ethos in his work.
He's lived in a variety of places, but you could say he finished growing up in Coventry, UK. He now lives in Los Angeles. He sings, programs, plays guitar, keys, bass and drums but has no formal qualifications and is totally self taught. His live shows are haphazard- some are an uplifting rhythmic experience, whilst some occur in deliberately darkened rooms and are hedonistic affairs drenched with chaotic walls of feedback and electronic noise. Others may swing from ferocious rock moments to gentle simple melodies played on tiny bells, acoustic guitars and toy instruments. There have been gigs with everyone from New Order to Iggy Pop, Soulwax to Peaches to the Undertones. He's as comfortable playing a sweaty NYC rock club as an Ibizan dance megaclub, and is one of the few artists regularly invited to play both.
Non Stop
Whitey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Non stop, you keep on coming
No way to stop you coming
And anyone anywhere else is better than me
One stop, you keep on coming
One stop, you keep on coming
And anyone anywhere everywhere rather than me
Watch out, I know you're coming
Watch out, I see you coming
And anyone anywhere else is better than me
Non stop, you keep on coming
Non stop, you keep on coming
And anyone anywhere everywhere rather than me
And it's now on me
And it's now on me
And it's now on me
And it's now on me
Watch out, I know you're coming
Watch out, I see you coming
And anyone anywhere everywhere rather than me
Non stop, you keep on coming
Non stop, you keep on coming
And anyone anywhere else is better than me
Non stop, you keep on coming
No way to stop me coming
And anyone anywhere else is better than me
One stop, you keep on coming
One stop, you keep on coming
And anyone anywhere everywhere rather than me
And it's now on me
And it's now on me
And it's now on me
And it's now on me
And it's now on me
And it's now on me
And it's now on me
And it's now on me
In "Non Stop," Whitey sings about the feeling of being overwhelmed by someone else's constant presence and how it makes him feel inadequate. The repetition of "non stop" and "one stop" highlights the relentlessness of this person's presence and how they don't seem to have any intention of stopping. Whitey seems to be warning himself to be careful because he knows that this person is coming for him, and he can't seem to escape them. He feels that no matter where he goes, this person will always be perceived as better than him.
The phrase "And it's now on me" repeated at the end of the song seems to suggest that Whitey has accepted that he is responsible for how he feels and how he perceives the situations he finds himself in. He acknowledges that he can't keep trying to avoid this person and that he has to find a way to live with their presence.
Overall, "Non Stop" paints a picture of the overwhelming feeling of being in someone's constant presence and how it can make you feel small and insignificant. Whitey's lyrics and haunting melody blend together to create a vivid image of someone feeling like they can't escape the person they're talking about.

I remember listening to this song on my walk in between classes back in college, it's good for when you're late and need to power walk with a soundtrack. Good times, great music. Thanks Whitey!
Travis Anderson
@Whitey Always, everyday. Thanks!

How did I live the first 33 years of my life without hearing this music? Now it's my own personal soundtrack.

I would never say you have a bad song. I don't think I know each single one of them. But clearly I'd say this one is one of the better one's. It's not only dope, it's an industry of greatness.
