██▌▄▀█ Roots Manuva, on the Basement, 16 Nov ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Roots Manuva aka Rodney Hylton Smith was born and ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ grew up in South London. His parents were from a ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ small village in Jamaica where his father was a ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ preacher. His family weren't exactly loaded (hence ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ his mother's use of the term "brand new second hand" ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ to describe a pre-used present), but they were ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ strict, as befits a Pentacostal upbringing. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ When Smith found himself drawn to the reggae of the ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ UK's sound system culture and hip hop (through the ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ lyrical expressiveness of Rakim), his parents hardly ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ approved. In fact, he had to listen in secret. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ But it was worth the effort. In 1999, four years ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ after the release of his first single, Roots Manuva ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ dropped the instant-classic "Brand New Second Hand" ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ to critical acclaim and commercial success. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Manuva was described as 'the most significant and ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ original new voice in hip hop' (The Independent), and ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ it was hard to underestimate the impact of the record ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ on a genre of music which seemed to have gone into ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ hibernation in the UK of the early nineties. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Roots also became a cameo king, destroying ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ microphones for the likes of Leftfield, Skitz, Mr ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Scruff, Mica Paris, 23 Skidoo and Pharoahe Monch, ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ amongst others. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ What makes him special, perhaps, is his willingness ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ to gamble with this dream. Instead of taking the ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ obvious big-money route and hired in a heap of famous ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ guests to make safe, production-line hip hop, he ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ chose to spread the love a little. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ That's why he describes the album ôRun come save meö ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ as "a patchwork reflection of the bittersweet-tainted ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ joys and pains of progress. It's so easy to get ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ cynical in these big, bad corporate times - so this ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ be a declaration of good hearted ghetto hoorah joyous ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ intent." In the process this future-blues man has ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ created a record that re-writes the hip hop map in a ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ way no album has done since Outkast's "Aquemeni". ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Musically, the record represents a leap forward from ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ "Brand New Second Handö. Manuva has produced three ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ quarters of the new material himself and his refusal ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ to conform shows at every turn. Hip hop is ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ re-imagined as a loose Scratch Perry skank, as ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ electronic barrages of noise, as guitar feedback over ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ minimal beats. The range of the sound is a reflection ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ of the Manuva mindset û seemingly disparate but all ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ pushing in the same direction. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Lyrically, too, "Run Come Save Me" showed Roots ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ stretching himself, expressing emotion in sometimes ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ cryptic but nevertheless heartfelt ways. Few big name ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ MCs are really honest - it's more effort than it's ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ worth. But Smith seems to love language too much to ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ lie. "I like words. Just writing as a whole, not ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ specifically songs. I try not to think about it too ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ much. If I really sat down and looked into how much ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ I'm giving away about myself I probably wouldn't ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ write anything..." ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Roots is currently working on new Material due to ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ drop early next year. ░██▌▄▀
