“Novi Novak is from Chicago. He has a pretty dope flow on this song. The song is very catchy and seems like something that would make the radio. The song has a Cash Money / Young Money sounding beat. Props to Skyler Carrico for sending us an email about the song.” - GoodMusicAllDay.com
“Fresh out of Chicago, Novi Novak, is rapidly increasing interest from fans and fellow rappers alike. Having only recently begun to buzz around the listener’s ears with his HARD remix of Wiz Khalifa’s ‘Black & Yellow’, Novi’s been around for a little longer than that releasing underground successes such as ‘Don’t Compare ‘Em’ and his ‘Ransom Freestyle’. - Matt Hayes - MHayes Music Blog
“Yesterday his "Black and Yellow" remix caught my eye so I decided to give it a listen...DAMN. This guy goes hard!". . . "Listen to his punch lines, they are very witty. This guy will be blowing up very soon, keep an eye out for him!” - Pump The Beat
“I introduced you guys to one of the sickest rappers coming out of the Midwest, Novi Novak, just a few days ago. His “Black and Yellow” remix is filthy and the rest of his tracks definitely do not disappoint at all.". . . "Novi Novak’s going places…just saying.” - Dirty Mexican Lemonade
“Great lyrics, great flow, great hook, and great beat (by TellingBeatzz). Also, the video is pretty cool, since all the lyrics are portrayed on fan submitted pictures.” - Pump The Beat
If you have not yet heard of the one they call Novi Novak, you are missing out on a talented individual. In a cruel industry that chews people up and spits them out again – Novi Novak has proved to be a stayer. One can see that the future of Rap Music is truly in safe hands.
His debut E.P. ‘Aura of a Super Villain’ (released: June 2011) sets a new page for the young entertainer, with 3 new songs for his fans. However, there is only one song that didn’t quiet grab me, that being the singing in ‘Web of Lies’, although the lyrical work never cease to amaze.
What set’s Novi apart from other’s is that, he writes in a creative fashion, which transports fans right where he wants them – feeling exactly what he feels. In a sense, every song he composes, his intentions, to be true comes loudly across. This young man has the vision, creativity and determination to make anything possible. A real Aristocrat in the Rap Music Industry.
Looking back, Novi started Rapping around the age of 15, an art-form that he would eventually master to perfection. His then, continuous battle rapping earned him respect and recognition among his peers. His love for creative writing was always there even as young as nine. Being in trouble with the law became second nature – although his experiences are the essence of what we hear in his music today.
His songs appeal to people of all walks of life, and his newly released EP will not disappoint. Paradoxically, we all at times, can find a little of ourselves in what he writes. Here, I would like to mention another character named Corbin Cox, the lad behind the filming of Novi’s video clips. So often directors and cameramen are lost behind the scenes – hardly mentioned, except for credits.
Corbin Cox who had always fancied of having a career in filming – never thought he would have the chance to prove himself. As a Collage student it somehow all went wrong and soon he’d much preferred partying than to study. In 2010, he heard Novi’s youtube release ‘Ransom Free Style’ which sparked an interest. It was through a mutual friend that Corbin met Novi and as they say in show-business, the rest is now history.
I have been following Novi Novak’s music since the release of Hot Boy in March 2010, after hearing his latest offering, I recommend it – so if you enjoy the music of Novi Novak – help support this independent artist. You can purchase his EP at the following link. His Previous songs can also be heard on youtube.
