​Novelist and Nick Hook premiere ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’

It’s bassy, it’s grimey, and it’s out now

Last week MC Novelist and producer Nick Hook shared their stomping new track, ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’, which is out now on Fool’s Gold.

Earlier this year London grime MC Novelist took a solo trip to New York where he met Nick Hook and led to the creation of the single.

The pair recorded the track in Hook’s studio, The Space Pit, where Hook recorded the rest of his forthcoming album, ‘Relationships’.

On his Instagram, Novelist said: “Nick Hook gave me a new outlook on life when I met him in New York at 18 years old when I went out there alone. He reiterated to me that FREEDOM starts in the mind and to do what you want with 100% of your energy.

“I've been taking my own time to understand life guys and I wanna say that the race is not for the swift, but remain to be certain in everything. At times I've not been certain about what I want to do with myself but it's the wise words of good friends and my bible that keep my mind in the right place.

“Write your plans on your walls and paper, stick to them and don't stop till the casket drops. Love!”
