Novelist Has Dropped Another Seething Political Track, Titled "Break In Your House"

"Not enough man like me are voting / But man are on the blocks, chatting shit, moaning".

"Not enough man like me are voting / But man are on the blocks, chatting shit, moaning," sneers Novelist, on his latest track "Break In Your House". With a little over half of young voters turning up for the 2014 election, he has a fair point.

Away from the apron of the Teen Tatler set, it feels near impossible to find a young person that A) doesn't think it's hilarious David Cameron may have put his penis inside a piglet and B) has serious, fundamental concerns about our future livelihood under Tory rule. So why didn't half of us vote? Why are we venting but not acting? And what can we do about it in the future? These are the questions that seem to be playing on the mind of Novelist at the moment, who has deemed himself a "street politician" on Twitter, and backed that label up with a spate of tracks that lock crosshairs on youth disillusionment and the British establishment.

The self-produced "Break In Your House" follows up "Street Politician", "David Cameron Riddim", and a legendary, four hour set on London's Radar Radio, where Novelist and half of grime (Skepta, Jammer, P Money, and more) turned out for the South London MC's nineteenth birthday. You can listen to that here, and peep "Break In Your House" below.

The young Lewisham MC was also given a serious metaphorical pat on the shoulder over the weekend, when Drake (who was manning the OVO show on Beats 1, to premiere his own new track) gave props to Novelist by dropping his Mumdance collaboration, "1 Sec".
