Noveliss | S4 Episode 21

My guest this week is Michigan rapper and co-host of The SwordCast, Noveliss. We spoke about Aliens, The Power Rangers Movie, Zatoichi and his other favorite samurai films, X-Men 97, the future of the MCU, how both rap and martial arts helped him appreciate discipline, coaching his son’s UAA team, how producer Hir-O convinced him to not quit rapping, and the creative process behind their latest album Cyberpunk Rhapsody. Come fuck with us. Cyberpunk Rhapsody is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping it directly from Noveliss's Bandcamp.
