What is Roots Manuva?
1.
Rodney Smith AKA Roots Manuva was brought up in Stockwell, South London, a son of humble Jamaican parents. Smith found a love for black british musicians and hip hop, particularily influenced by Rakim and recorded his debut in 1994 and since then has produced many hugely popular albums and songs inluding "Where my mind is at" and "Fingerprints of the gods" with DJ Skitz, "Witness (1 Hope)" and his chilled anthem "Dreamy days". His groundbreaking album "Run come save me" is rated as the 1,066th best selling CD on Amazon.co.uk (compare this to 2Pac's 2,238 rank for his greatest hits album)
Taskmaster burst the bionic zit splitter,
Breakneck speed we drown ten pints of bitter,
we lean all day and some say that ain't productive,
could that depend upon the demon that you're stuck with?
'cos right now, I see clearer than most,
I sit here contented with this cheese on toast
