Neophyte Phenotype is a 2001 album by hip-hop artist Noah23. It features dense wordplay over drum and bass-influenced beats.^[2]

Reception

"The word association acrobatics of the Plague Language crew might remind some of the Shapeshifters' abstract alien paranoia and high-tech wordplay, but the techno-sorcery...is all their own." – Exclaim! ^[1]

"[A] wonderful mix between technological hiphop lyrics and a hybrid of jungle/hiphop beats." – UGSMAG^[3]

"With his fast-paced style, Noah has fit more words than some emcees do in three albums, yet the quality never drops. In my opinion Neotype Phenotype is the best underground hiphop to come out of Canada in 2001." – UKHH.com^[2]

"[Shows a] knack for offbeat rhymes and innovative beats" – URBNET Magazine^[4]
