The Next Chapter / Recognise Me (IÆm An African) marks
the return of the godfather of British hip-hop, Rodney
P aka The Riddim Killa, with his first solo release in
over a decade. Out on Tru Thoughts, the white promo 7ö
represents the Rodney P of today. The two killer
tracks embody and personify the evolving music and
culture of his heritage while paying homage to his
contribution to the UK hip-hop canon.
The Next Chapter is both personal and cultural. ItÆs a
reintroduction to the hugely influential legend while
laying out the next chapter in his respected career.
Recognise Me (IÆm An African) seeÆs Rodney reconnect
on a deeper level with his West-Indian heritage as a
second-generation immigrant. Referencing Ghanaian
politician and revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah, Rodney
explores themes of identity and the ideology of pan-
Africanism (the idea that the destiny of all people of
African descent, depends on the fate of the continent
of Africa). A pioneer who inspired a generation of
hip-hop and grime MCs with his home-grown reggae-
influenced flow, Rodney P set the scene ablaze back in
the late æ80s with the seminal group London Posse.
Since then, he has had a rich and varied career as a
radio and television personality, while musically
collaborating with the likes of Bjork, Skinnyman,
Omar, MJ Cole and countless others.
Regarded as the Godfather of British Hip Hop. Inspired
a whole generation of British emcees and producers as
the first to rap in an authentic London accent and
produce a home-grown Hip Hop reggae vibe that is
distinctly rooted in the UK.
