Grime prodigy Novelist has left his crew.

The 18-year-old MC and producer has enjoyed a fast rise to fame since emerging at 16, working with producers like Mumdance and Inkke (though he’s also more than capable of making his own beats, and will reportedly produce his debut album himself).

Until recently he was the highest profile member of South London crew The Square, which includes Elf Kid, Faultsz, Hilts and more, but a tweet sent this morning appears to have broken that tie:

I've left TheSquare. Shifty things have been happening for a while & I'm 18 carrying a lot of people's careers alone. Time to be myself. 📝
