Once the ‘poster boy of grime’ now 2018 Mercury Prize and Q Award nominee: meet the independent-minded south London rapper.

He performs an exclusive live show with his choice of guests, sharing his visionary experiments in grime, hip-hop and beyond.
Novelist Guy was entirely written and produced by Novelist himself and released on his own label, MMMYEH Records, in April 2018.
