...according to our Brett on 26 August 2010.
I reckon this is the best thing I've heard ol' Rodney Smith do for a fair old while. It's a slight darkening of the upbeat dancehall sound he was doing last album around (even retaining the prominent steel drum that was all over that stuff) and all the better for the murkier, more psychedelically dubby feel which almost recalls the deep jungle humidity of prime Lee Perry productions. Ricky Ranking, Jonathan Ross's favourite MC, guests and the two contrasting vocal styles work a treat in the crafting of a satisfying and understatedly catchy number. 'Bashment Bogle' features a few highly comical couplets which 'Rebuff' is a reworking of that 'Buff Nuff' tune from a couple of years back and doesn't seem quite as instantly tiresome as it did originally.
Roots Manuva returns with a brand new track from‘Duppy Writer’, a collaborative album with WrongTom.
Dub inflected, infectious, summery rap that only Roots Manuva knows how to make, with strongradio support.
The brand new Roots Manuva material showsRodney on top form - fired up rap verses withinsanely catchy reggae choruses.
Roots Manuva will be touring heavily throughoutthe Summer.
The single features ‘Bashment Bogle’, an exclusiveB-side not included on the album.
