Novel - Suspended Animation (Mixtape Review)

If you don't know who this is you need to download the mixtape. Novel isn't your typical rapper, he is also a singer, songwriter, and producer. You have to respect him for that. This dude really does it all, and that's not something you see too often. I felt his flow and lyrical ability was top notch. He tries to both sing and rap and he does well. Unfortunately I don't think he has the right balance of rap and rnb on each track. One usually overtakes the other completely and leaves you wondering just what you're listening to. Often times I waited for a verse and just got another minute of chorus. This dude's doing everything drake fails at, but he needs to go to work if he wants to blow. The features on this are awesome, Message to Rhianna belongs to Ghostface, and So Much More with Papoose raises the overall rating of the tape by half a point on its own.
DL it for Pap if you're on the fence about it.
