Blending the lines between vainglorious (Limit Pusher, Bones) and vulnerable (All Mine, Baggage), Carolina-native Sk, the Novelist demonstrates a soundscape which borrows both from the mainstream and the underground; the creation is something in-between. The 2019 first-quarter release Baggage encompasses various styles, with lyrics that often highlight hard work and determination ("I just pulled the plug on my clock, I don't want to know the hour now, I've been working up since God knows when, I'm a mother-f***ing powerhouse). A slew of shows and further content from the Baggage-rollout set up 2019 to be an elevating year for the Asheville-emcee.
