Novelist went beyond simply celebrating his birthday in style. One of the grime game’s youngest underground kings celebrated his 19th birthday a couple weeks back, and many of his colleagues and brothers-in-grime showed up to ring in the occassion.

The festivities were caught on camera by Risky Roadz, who tells Noisey:
