Kain Fowler, professionally known as Novakain, began his music journey in 2011, teaching himself how to mix, master, and produce his own songs from scratch. By 2015, he stepped into the local Detroit rap scene with the release of his debut mixtape, BRAVO, establishing himself as a bold new voice with a DIY ethos and lyrical flair.
Shortly after, Novakain made waves as a member of the genre-blending collective <a href="spotify:artist:3ur9PMisHh7f08vKZpmOb4" data-name="Captwolf">Captwolf</a>, whose debut album <a href="spotify:album:39J1L2hL8DHKoqLPjdPtMd" data-name="Liquor Store Pizza Party at My Crib">Liquor Store Pizza Party at My Crib</a> marked a milestone in Detroit’s underground music scene. Their boundary-pushing sound led them to historic moments, including becoming the first hip-hop group to perform at <a href="spotify:artist:4FZ3j1oH43e7cukCALsCwf" data-name="Jack White">Jack White</a>’s Third Man Records.
Novakain’s solo work blends clever, weed-laced punchlines with endlessly smooth flows and introspective writing. His sound is both alternative and nostalgic, pulling from the emotional resonance of <a href="spotify:artist:0fA0VVWsXO9YnASrzqfmYu" data-name="Kid Cudi">Kid Cudi</a> , the sharp wit of <a href="spotify:artist:55Aa2cqylxrFIXC767Z865" data-name="Lil Wayne">Lil Wayne</a> , and the sonic innovation of <a href="spotify:artist:4LLpKhyESsyAXpc4laK94U" data-name="Mac Miller">Mac Miller</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:3TVXtAsR1Inumwj472S9r4" data-name="Drake">Drake</a> , and <a href="spotify:artist:5K4W6rqBFWDnAN6FQUkS6x" data-name="Kanye West">Kanye West</a>.
