The Brooklyn rapper and hip-hop
producer known as ThaNovelist has released his latest single, “Call
on Me.” The track is the most significant official release from
ThaNovelist since his trio of videos published in September 2014
which included such popular productions as “Tupac Reincarnated,”
“Sneaky,” and “Fast Lane.” A heavy-hitting urban anthem from
the birthplace of hip hop, itself, “Call on Me” by ThaNovelist is
a rap track by an old pro fans of any genre can get behind.
NYC's ThaNovelist cites as main
artistic influences titans such as Tupac Shakur, the Notorious BIG,
Drake, and Rich Homie Quan. While ThaNovelist has much in common with
the styles of each of these, his own mode of rap exhibits more
similarities with 'Pac than it does with the others, but most of all
ThaNovelist is a rapper with a style all his own.
Speaking of his new single, “Call on
Me,” ThaNovelist writes that “The message that this particular
song sends is a message to our women in society. The message is that
no matter how rough it gets, you can always call on me. 'Call on Me'
speaks from the voice of so many of us good men who do exist.”
Largely a lone wolf in the hip-hop
underground, ThaNovelist writes all his own music and chooses his
collaborators carefully. This is unsurprising, considering his dark
and gritty start in music.
“I started writing music while
incarcerated, which was 15 years ago,” he writes. “Writing songs
gave me hope while being surrounded by hopelessness.”
Born in August of 1982, ThaNovelist was
only 17 when he went to prison.
“Writing music was my way to
freedom,” he says. “It allowed me to express myself to the world.
I remember being in solitary confinement for three years. In solitary
I was confined to my cell four days a week for 24 hours a day. The
other three days I was only allowed out of my cell for 15 minutes
each day. After calculation, that's 45 minutes a week outside my cell
for three whole years. So please believe, writing music for me was my
freedom.”
Neither was this to be the last time
music would lift ThaNovelist out of despair. Six months after being
released from prison in 2008, ThaNovelist was shot five times with a
Glock 9mm. He was hit twice in the stomach, twice in the leg and once
in the hand.
He writes of this, “I remember
recovering in the hospital, saying to myself 'it's time to be more
serious with my God-given gift, which is creating music.'”
2012 saw him meeting with National
Musick League / LasVegas Music Group producer T.Beatz. They would go
on to create no fewer than three albums together. Since that time
ThaNovelist has been performing from coast-to-coast, Georgia, South
Carolina, New York, California, Las Vegas, Nevada and in other
locales. Meanwhile ThaNovelist participates in youth events like
Cambridge Saves the Youth by sharing to young persons his life
experiences, hoping to redirect troubled teens to a better path in
life.
“Call on Me” by ThaNovelist is
available online worldwide. Rap fans should get in early before word
gets out.
