Rodney Smith (born 1972), better known by his stage name Roots Manuva, is a rapper from Stockwell, South London. He is currently signed to Big Dada.


Biography

Smith grew up around Stockwell in South London. His parents were from a small village in Jamaica called Banana Hole where his father was a preacher and tailor. Spending much of his early years in poverty, this and his strict Pentecostal upbringing clearly had an influence on his music as can be seen in many of his tracks such as "Sinny Sin Sins" and "Colossal Insight".

A quote from Smith himself sums up his early discovery of music:
“ It was as a kid. Before I even knew what a soundsystem was. I was walking past Stockwell skateboard park and there was this sound being set up. They were probably just trying out their speakers. I was with my mum, holding my mum's hand. And I remember my mum being quite intimidated by the whole affair. Such a barrage of bass coming from it! And these dodgy-looking blokes standing beside it just admiring the sound of their bass. It's just a bass thing. A volume thing. I don't know if I rose-tint the memories, but I remember it sounded so good, so rich. It's not like today when we go to clubs and it hurts. It was more of a life-giving bass. ”

Smith made his recorded debut in 1994 as part of IQ Procedure through Suburban Base's short-lived hip hop imprint Bluntly Speaking Vinyl. He debuted as Roots Manuva the same year on Blak Twang's "Queen's Head" single, before releasing his own single, "Next Type of Motion" the following year through the same label, the hugely influential Sound of Money. 1996 saw the release of his collaborations with Skitz ("Where My Mind Is At"/"Blessed Be The Manner") on 23 Skidoo's Ronin label. The release of "Feva" on Tony Vegas' Wayward imprint followed in 1997. This was also the year that saw the first releases from Big Dada, a collaboration between Coldcut's Ninja Tune label and hip hop journalist Will Ashon.

Releasing for Coldcut's renowned experimental/hip hop label Ninja Tune in 1998, some of his music may be seen as a predecessor of grime. The following year he released his groundbreaking debut album, Brand New Second Hand. A reference to his family's modest lifestyle as a phrase his mother used for presents he often got as a youngster that were pre-used. He had such an impact on the UK rap scene that The Times declared that "his is the voice of urban Britain, encompassing dub, ragga, funk and hip hop as it sweeps from crumbling street corners to ganja-filled dancehalls, setting gritty narratives against all manner of warped beats." Manuva was rewarded for his breakthrough with a MOBO as Best Hip Hop Act that year.

The lyrics of his songs are usually known to take a distinctly British edge, with many critics highlighting his references of eating cheese on toast and drinking bitter as examples of this. His warm and easily recognizable voice can be heard on many songs he performed with other artists such as Chali 2na and Ozomatli), DJ Shadow, Mr Scruff, U.N.K.L.E., Nightmares on Wax, The Cinematic Orchestra, Beth Orton, The Herbaliser, Leftfield, Saian Supa Crew and most recently Coldcut. He also made an appearance on the Gorillaz latest album, Demon Days, on the track "All Alone".

stvarno nisam nikakav expert za rap i hip hop, ali Awfully Deep je jedan od najboljih albuma sto sam cuo. uz hip hop ovdje je odlicno uklopljen dub, elektronika, pa i gospel utjecaji. ljepljivi zvuk mracnije hipnotizirajuce ali i zive atmosfere, zasad nisam cuo to na ostalom njegovom, taj "uzasno duboki" zvuk, mada i nisam pretjerano provjeravao, ali Awfully Deep je preporuka svakome ko trazi mracniji a autenticni i originalni hip hop.

kktz legendo :D
bas si mi ugodno iznenadio ovom temom, Roots Manuva mi je odavno favorit, bas zbog spomenuto originalnosti, a da je mracnjak - bez daljnjeg, neb inace izdavao dub album :razz: .
mozda si cuo Buriala, koji postade najveca dubstep zvijezda...njegova muzika, kao i taj zanr opcenito sadrze istu tminu i atmosferu Rootsovih albuma. jeben je taj Juzni London :)

ok, meni je i ova jedna stvar od BURIAL odlicna, kuzi se ta atmosfera, nenametljiva tmina, zakon. vjerovatno potrazim njega i pomalo istrazim te druge, heh. sta je tocno grime? neko mi je to opisao kao rap sa brzim flowom, ja sam mislio da se odnosi na atmosferu, od grim, los utjecaj black metala na mene, heh. evo da ti se zahvalim, mozda ti se svidi, i ja bas otkrio preko necijih preporuka, crnacki buntovni post punk dub iz osamdesetih, london - http://www.myspace.com/therealbasements - BASEMENT 5

grime jest rap s brzim flowom, ali sa nastrano sporim beatovima :lol: podloge iliti beatovi grimea su u biti dubstep, samo ne produciran na nacin kako se sad radi, naravno. dakle, nenametljivi bubnjevi, jaki subovi, melodije sacinjene od basova i dosta dub efekata. za dalje istrazivanje, preporucujem ti prvi album Dizzeeja Rascala - Boy In Da Corner, koji je genijalan s obzirom da ga je napravio sa sedamnaest godina, one ideje i onakvi tekstovi se rijetko srecu, na kasnijim albumima nije uspio vratiti onau intenzivnost i sve su losiji i losiji jebiga

a za Basement 5 sam cuo preko Dona Lettsa, no nisam nikad slusao, meni ovo valja ekstra :D najbolji britanski bendovi iz tog doba su skoro nepoznati :|

ok su, ali premlade da bi stvorile nesto eksta, ali nisu losi MCji uopste :)

a za domaci grime...hm, ne znam bas, nije nesto kod nas zazivio ( valjda su nam MCji pretanki haha ), pa tako nisam da itko radi nesto, osim beatova. Diyala je na nekim stvarima blizu ( http://www.myspace.com/diyala11 ), a za DS imas http://www.myspace.com/dubstepserbia, recimo :)

ok. nije mi nest Diyala zanimljiva. ovo je nest sto je mozd vise na IDM al ide i na te neke strane i zvuci ozbiljno - http://www.myspace.com/znoi , slovenskog dj-a Electrokk neki hvale da pusta odlican dubstep i drumstep, bas dub sa ploce. al dobro, da nejdem preduboko o necem sto bas i ne poznam, i nije moj fah, heh. al definitivno laganim tempom nastavim trazit tako atmosfericnije stvari, da su opore.

ma da, u biti im treba dobar producent, one bas imaju strogo MC pristup, samo ja nisam taj jer premalo znam o hip hopu, bio bi to vise experiment, ako bude.

Heh, kao zastupnika te ideje bio sam crna ovca dvog hip-hop klana :) . Ne da sam aktivno pratio britansku scenu (ma nikako) sem So Solidaša ali dub/d'n'b je po prirodi kompatibilan sa rappom. Nisu samo LTJ Bukem i Ronny Size jedini na svijetu aktivni na tom polju (niti su bili 2004. i tokom cijele 2005. kad sam ja "propovjedao" budućnost hip-hopa sa ovim zvukom.

Dajte linkove za Roots Manuva i ostale ove folove. I za Shine-a isto. I mojnete reći da to niste slušali - prosto ne vjerujem da niste.

Kaže dobar dio struke da je to najbolji dubstep album. Možda zato što je na njemu najpoznatiji track "Midnight request line"... Dobar album, moj favorit je track "Stagger", pravi ultraspori wobblasti dubstep koji dobro trese low-end frekvencije na wooferu. Album je prava ulaznica za one koji žele upoznati ovu sporu i ultra low bass glazbu.

Zomby ( dubstep )

skinucu si i ja nesto od ovog, sluso untrue od BURIAL, dobro stvarno, malo mozd ipak prevelik hype oko dubstepa al ok, provjericu jos neke grime i dubstep stvari.
de malo lekcije i za garage i 2-step :D vidim, veze se uz BURIAL.

da se i ja ubacim, heh, vidicemo. ako bude vremena, zanimljivo se poklopilo to sto sam stric jednoj reperici, a neke od ovih stvari mi leze.

slusam bas dva albuma od HAIN TENY iz novog sada, na jednom ima dost tih nekih dub finti, drugi isto dost atmosferican, mada mi ne leze toliko, vise su funky, al nije lose.

heheh, ma jasta, uspori im beat, ubaci buku ( to ekstra znas ) i onda im daj da repaju :D

a sto se tice garagea/2-stepa, ( iako ne znam previse ), tu ima dosta MTV smorova ( Craig David je tu haman ikona, pa ti vidi :lol: ), al ako se nafuras, mozes nac dobrih stvari, meni su recimo Horsepower odlicni, a s druge strane, ostatak opcepoznatih izvodjaca su mi nista ekstra, dakle Artful Dodger, Zed Bias itd itd
problem ove muzike je povremeni manjak identiteta, tako da se tu trpa svasta, od uk dance preko Dizzeeja do Streetsa a dosta toga je zapravo britanski plesni rnb. fol je u tome sto je Burial jedan pametan decko pa je iz te muzike izvukao ono najbolje - beat, a atmosferu koju muzika prirodno ima, a koja za koju mozemo reci da je vesela i kulerska, doveo do depresije, razocarenja i pesimizma - mog priodnog stanja, pa sam ga zato i zgotivio :razz: skini i privi album, tu su stvari sirovije


Horsepower Productions
to the rescue

Roots of Dubstep - sjajna kompilacija s dosta geridž izvođača
http://rapidshare.com/files/126910340/TempaCD007.rar

a kad sam spomenuo The Streets, da i njega nabacim, prvijenac njegov, isti fol kao sa Dizzejem, no druga muzika skroz, meni je ovo genijalan album i slusam ga vec godinama
