Ep.82 - #UKBHM 2020: Roots Manuva

On Ep.82 of DITD: We continue our UK Black History Month Miniseries with a retrospective on the incomparable Roots Manuva.
Continuing our #UKBHM miniseries, we go to an artist that has been doing it for over 20 years, evolving every facet of his artistry, even though his style was unique from day 1.

Roots Manuva takes his earthy London voice, laces it with patios, writes dense, poetic bars and drops it all on Hip-Hop/Dub Reggae beats with electronic elements. Wacky right? We go through his discography, explaining how 1 of 1 Roots Manuva truly is.
