Ben Folds is listed as being featured on “I Am” by Novel, but you’d be forgiven for not realizing that: his vocals are made Chipmunk-high, but he did the piano for the song. Talib Kweli and Spree Wilson do guest verses on the track, and Talib runs off with the show.
“I Am” is slated to appear on Novel’s The Audobiography… which is due out soon. [Nahright]
Ben fold sample is there but Folds is actually singing along with the sample in harmony. So he is on the hook. You can see the footage of folds in studio with Novel on youtube
