Rodney Smith aka Roots Manuva released his MOBO-winning debut album, Brand New Second Hand, in 1999 and his Mercury-nominated follow up, Run Come Save Me, in 2001. With those two records he developed a reputation as the possessor of a beautiful voice, a lyrical density which leaves most mainstream MCs sounding a little flat, and a production ear which constantly finds the unusual - the original - and makes it sound as natural as walking. Now, with his third album, he has made the best record of his career. Add to this impressive catalogue Roots Manuva’s Back To Mine album and you see an artist who has drawn inspiration for the most creative people in musical culture and who now offers this gift back. Rodney’s selection for Back To Mine is truly mind-blowing! From the classic soul of Maze to the Grime of Wiley and the class of Grace Jones. this really is an album to take back to yours...
