Big up Novelist you can see he has a good heart and good energy. he's definitely here for a reason

[@cheeky1733]

Novelist is an old soul with a young heart. Inspirational and insanely talented bredda. Comes across really intelligent too. King shit ✊🏾

[@493HZ]

Been that way since he stepped on the scene. Not many people get a Skepta debut at 18

[@DaMetalMessiah]

Nov has always been wise beyond his years. Best interview I’ve seen to date.

[@PREMNAVY]

Family

[@chrisa290195]

Big Prem!

[@cjc132]

Pray this man sees out his vision. Huge respect for how he makes his own lane. No one sounds like him

[@daofficialo]

Extremely touching & inspirational. The way he carries himself as a person is a great example for how this generation needs to start moving. Level headed, smart & humble guy in person too 💯

[@fuhadaminu4663]

Proper brudda man everything he was saying is facts!! Enjoyed this interview 10/10 !!!

[@Dontmindme101.]

The way he pauses before he makes his point, shows he’s thinking before he answers which makes his answers more interesting, well articulated brudda

[@Carlos-gv2he]

Man looks like a mix between headie one, the game and Giggs

[@jordanyussuf]

He looks like himself bruv

[@paniros]

Novelist is a big big Lewisham legend, will go down in the history books if he hasn’t already. One of the few talented artists that doesn’t even really care about the clout/fame associated with the business. Around year I saw Nov out in the ends selling his hard-copy EP CD’s out of his car, Bruddah is the definition of a real nigga.

[@ThaD0n]

Most humble & down to earth guy I know, proper proud

[@GloTheActivist300]

This guy is a good guy, I used to go Lewisham College when I was 14 at the 14-16 program and I used to see him around.

[@Ayo_Stylezz]

this the sort of brudda that man can really learn some life changing lessons from. I do the music as well and have been following man from time. Keep doin ur ting Nov... big up!

[@platform4entertainmenttv]

Big up Novelist good energy! Big up Bobby Kassanga always giving us something interesting to watch🔥

[@daniellaageh1428]

Love how mature he is about the whole situation that happened. This is refreshing to see.

[@CJ-km5zz]

It was written. this guy moves with a deep understanding of his prophecy

[@rippawallet]

Calm down

[@nsalam]

When Nov speaks people listen. Hail up.

[@jimjones2757]

Man said he used to ride from Lewisham to brick lane una 💀

[@jaya8915]

One of the old school grime dons. Blessed brudda

[@thunderjoy7250]

Always check for NOV...head screwed on...big up ☻❤

[@watchthis7529]

If novelist was around 2003-2006 he would’ve been the new chip or dizzy for grime

[@adamait-mohamed147]

Novs held it down from day - best mindset in the game. Big up PREM too

[@StefonGrant]

Real guy, got a good way of illustrating his points

[@loveislove8741]

He mentioned Roachee from Roll Deep and emulating mans energy, that made me laugh because I did exactly the same back then. Roach would be a good interview Bobby. Realest talk though...You have to get Wiley on here. The numbers would go through the roof
