Roots Manuva is a British rapper hailing from Stockwell, South London. Born on September 9, 1972 in London, England, he has made a significant impact on the music scene with his unique style and powerful lyrics.
With an authoritative voice and thought-provoking content, Roots Manuva has become one of the most respected figures in the rap genre. His music reflects his experiences growing up in South London and tackles social issues with honesty and authenticity.
As an artist, Roots Manuva has consistently pushed boundaries and experimented with different sounds, blending elements of hip-hop, reggae, electronic music, and more. His innovative approach to music has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base around the world.

Not only one of Britain's greatest musical artists, but one of the greatest lyricists full stop, Roots Manuva is back with a dazzling new album, 'Bleeds'. Past collaborations with everyone from Gorillaz to the Maccabees to Leftfield to Coldcut to the Cinematic Orchestra, Rodney Smith's influence can be heard right across the musical landscape. Now, with his sixth studio album, he has made his most concise and focussed record to date, his most emotionally affecting and powerful release since his breakthrough, 'Run Come Save Me.' Drawing upon production assistance from young British producer, Fred, together with musical heavyweights Four Tet, Adrian Sherwood and Switch's new production team, With You, the title of the record is, in the man's own words, an "egocentric jest of daring to do things in the tradition of Jesus: I'm ready to bleed for the artform." It is, of course, also a reference to the way in which genres, in the sonic world of Roots Manuva, have a tendency to bleed into one another, so that hip hop, reggae, techno, funk, neo-classical, all blend together to create "liquid soul, the blood, the bleeds that paint infinite sacred wonders in our dreams and unfold in our day-to-day."
