Hello and welcome back to this crazy little spot on Faygoluvers that we call the Underground Spotlight. This time we sit down of Virginia’s own Novel Bandana to discuss his latest release, what he’s got in the pipeline amongst other things. Through life’s struggles he’s persevered to continue growing his career, creating experience in both life and the music industry.

So, let’s just go ahead and jump right into this thing shall we?

Johnny O: First, how about a little introduction for the Faygoluvers family?

Novel Bandana: My name is Novel Bandana, I’m from Newport News, Virginia. And I rap …. pretty well …

JO: Can you tell us about the name and how you came to be known by it?

NB: Novel means you can’t judge me by my cover like a book, & Bandana was added on in high school when everybody would call me that because I always had one

JO: So, how would you describe your personal sound to perspective fans?

NB: It’s hard, I dibble and dabble with different genres of hiphop to create an original sound. But alot of the music is personal and true to where I come from.

JO: I know you just dropped, “The Bandanna LP,” can you let us in on what to expect from the release?

NB: A new sound, and hopefully landing a bigger situation for my carrer. I think this project had major potential to open a few more doors.

JO: When exactly did the new album release?

NB: It actually release November 13th, so when you get a chance go to itunes and grab a copy.

JO: Where can fans grab a copy and check out more from Novel Bandanna?

NB: iTunes, Amazon, spotify, tidal, etc. And follow my instagram for updates @novelbandana

JO: Is there anything currently in the works that you can speak about?

NB: Currently putting together “The Bandana LP” tour, and alot of visuals are in the making.

JO: Though you’ve definitely had the chance to work with a variety of other artists, but if you could reach out to anyone to collaborate, who would it be?

NB: I’d love to collaborate with Tech N9ne, just to soak up some game and test my rapid fire like never before.

JO: How has it been to be a growing underground artist in Virginia?

NB: It’s pretty cool, I get alot of love every where I go. That’s something very hard to conquer here.

JO: So, who or what would you say motivates you to keep going?

NB: Waking up in public housing and going to work every day, and my city

JO: Who have been your biggest influcences over the years?

NB: Man I’d name artists for days, just music in general is a big influence and the different cultures it has created. I find inspiration from it all

JO: Currently, what or who is Novel Bandana listening to?

NB: Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Sauce Twinz, & Nirvana … weird right? Lol

JO: Well, I hate to end for us to say goodbye, but how about a few shout outs before we officially call it?

NB: Shout out to u guys for the opportunity, my fans, Bad Newz, VA & grab your copy of #THEBANDANALP here

Unfortunately, that will just about wrap up another fresh new edition of the Underground Spotlight, but I want to send a big thanks out to Novel Bandana for taking the time for this interview. Of course, I also have to thank all of you that took the time to check out this newest interview as well. If you like what you saw, read or, most importantly, heard here be sure to get a copy of the new album and follow the man himself on Instagram and Twitter. The links will be below as always.

I also realize this will be the very last Underground Spotlight of 2015, so I want to thank all the artists we’ve had the chance to interview throughout this year. I personally would like to wish everyone in Faygoluvers land a great Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza or what ever you may celebrate. Here’s to another amazing year and a big THANK YOU to the entire staff here at Faygoluvers as well. Enjoy your holidays and I’ll meet you right back here in 2016 for more of the Underground’s best up and coming artists.

Now before I officially sign off, if you would like to be featured right here on the Underground Spotlight, shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]. Make sure to include a short bio, why you would like to/should be featured, a track or two and a couple of pics. Of course, don’t forget to include UGS or something similar in the subject line. So, until next time…

Peace,

Johnny O.
