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 Spirit": I've only listened to the full album a few times now, b... MORE
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 hits under the hood. "Buff Nuff," features smokin hot production by ... MORE
I'm not really into rap that much but I keep getting hooked up to Roots Manuva just like a lot of UK artists, who, when they need some rap get on the blower to Rodney....

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 recently spotted in T's latest opus - "Sound Tape Killin": (I did a whol...

Where Saul Williams rides the extremes between genius and lunacy, Roots Manuva finds a nice balance. However, this mini-documentary with the UK rapper-artist portrays him as a codgety old geeza on the sofa and a delirious don pon di mic... But he does shed some light on the name Slime & Reason: Roots Manuva mini-doc: Crazy, innit? Compare that to Manuva's mad cream in "Buff Nuff": Then again, "Again & Again": Who is Roots Manuva? ...

Must admit to not listening to much hip hop, but damn this song is now in my head and..
Arms are in the air
Let the spirit move you....
Let the spririt soothe you
Let the spirit know you...
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 hip hopper from the heartical land, he's never sold out but he sells a tune or tw... MORE

It's In the City at the moment, so as per most of the music industry seems to be flying around various bars trying to catch hold of the ever illusive next big thing. I've been asked to speak on a couple panels this year, and I've just got back from the Record of the Day round table, where some people like John Robb, John Kennedy, Bethan from Radio 1 and other important industry types talked about their favourite tracks of the moment, and what they think will be big in th...
