DROP. | Novelist

Following a summer filled with behind the scene movements, we're kicking off our biggest year yet with one of grime's most influential artists:

Novelist is hailed as the new face of grime. Championed by Skepta, mentored by Wiley, and respected by all, the MOBO-nominated Novelist is a force in the game like none other:

MC and producer Novelist hails from Lewisham, South London. The 20-year-old, whose real name is Kojo Kankam, grew up immersed in the grime scene, and built a following through appearances on underground radio stations such as Flex, NTS and Rinse – where he played solo for an hour.

A former candidate to be Lewisham’s young mayor (he came second) and outspoken Jeremy Corbyn supporter, the prodigy has been widely praised for his skilful delivery and ear for musical innovations.

Grime lynchpin DJ Logan Sama described Novelist as the “representative of a generation of Grime (...) a first as a product of Grime, musically.”
