Oi yeeeah! I'm always excited about new Roots Manuva music and this new video is no exception. "Let The Spirit" is the 3rd single from Slime & Reason which came out this week. A few tunes on the album are fiery electro-dancehall produced by Toddla T. But "Let The Spirit" move you was produced by Metronomy and brings a slower more serious sound with FAT bass synths! Roots Manuva - "Let The Sp...

Roots Manuva takes an old school approach to "Again & Again," the latest single from his upcoming new LP Slime & Reason. The tune is a smooth blend of UK hip hop and slow skanking dancehall. You'd think that Manuva would no longer have to explain himself to anyone, but the lyrics in "Again & Again" suggest otherwise. One look at his catalog and you'd know where he's coming from - a humble h...

There aren't many details yet, but Roots Manuva confirmed he's wrapping up a new album of hot, hot, UK flava hip hop for release this summer. The giddy smile I was stuck with after hearing this tripled when I discovered Toddla T is also involved! I'm a huge fan of the grime-y London geeza and the up-n-coming Sheffeeler alike - but together they will be insaaaane!Case in point: Roots Mang was ...

“This is something called the Jus… the Jus Jus”: memorable lyrics from a time of delighting in finding Hip Hop in unexpected places. Well, Mr. Scruff and UK Hip Hop’s biggest and most maverick figure Roots Manuva have got together again for the stonking single ‘Nice Up The Function’. Taken from last year’s ‘Ninja Tuna’ album, a more leftfield record than Scruff ever made before,

...here's something different for your Hip Hop Thursday consumption...Roots Manuva whom I'd slacked off on, admittedly...earlier this year, Micki hooked me up with a couple of his albums when she was in L.A. and we swapped some sounds via USB cables in a MacBook to MacBook stylee...I've since found that I am ready to absorb 'im and have been bumpin' this LP more and more...here's a jam I hipped...

Witness..Roots Manuva (born Rodney Smith, 1972) is a rapper from Stockwell, South London. The lyrics of his songs are usually known to take a distinctly British edge, with many critics highlighting his references of eating cheese on toast and drinking bitter as examples of this. His warm and easily recognizable voice can be heard on many songs he performed with other artists such as Chali 2na (...

Dreamy Days by Roots Manuva came out a few years ago now, but it still sounds fresh, new and innovative. Great beats, nice strings and awesome lyrics, all with Manuva's unique flow. It's a long way from the 80s when UK hip-hop only seemed able to ape the better stuff coming out of the US. Now it strikes me that it's almost reversed - the US may produce more commercial stuff, but for fresh, exci...

Where have you heard the name Matt Helders before I hear you ask? If you're a fan of a certain Sheffield four-piece, you'll know the name by the drummer of, yes, Arctic Monkeys. Turns out Alex Turner isn't the only Monkey with a side project. Helders has recently remixed We Are Scientists and has [...]

Well, now I've posted one hip-hop track I kind of want to post another. I don't know if this guy got/ gets any airplay in America... None of my firends here know who he is, which is incredible to me. He has such an interesting, original spin on the hip-hop sound that I'm not sure I should even call it hip-hop. His musical style is constantly expanding and his lyrics are witty and unpretencious....

In his brand new video for "Buff Nuff," Roots Manuva is the Ice Cream Man, sorta like M.I.A. was the sandwich lady in her video for "Paper Planes." Roots makes bank while raking in the ladies! Manuva looks like he was dressed by Toddla T and Small Arms Fiyah, which kinda makes him look like a male M.I.A.-impersonator! But, iz cool. Bruva can do anything he wants with a decade of top ranking...
