The 15-track LP, self-produced by the Lewisham polymath himself, will follow last year's surprise short-player Be Blessed. "Nov Wait Stop Wait" is the first taste of the record, and you can check it out below and then see Novelist's announcement tweets afterwards.

This is my debut album entitled: Novelist Guy

I spent the most of the last few years creating these beats, learning how to mix how I like and pouring my heart out, somehow still managing to rhyme with depth and meaning.

I thank my Mother and Siblings for supporting me throughout the duration of my life keeping me out of trouble, and career, even when I wasn't focused.
