Novelist is up for the 2018 Hyundai Mercury Prize for his debut album 'Novelist Guy,' and the South London MC has unleashed a new live performance of his heater "Nov Wait Stop Wait" ahead of the award ceremony on the 20th September.

The 21-year-old linked up with Boiler Room for the live visuals, who also got him to talk through his creative process and open up on where his inspiration came from for his excellent debut album.

The live performance showcases why the Lewisham don is now nominated alongside esteemed company for the award, with Nov shelling down a clinically executed rendition of one of the hardest tracks from 'Novelist Guy'.
