Roots Manuva

Having been pretty quiet for the last couple of years, Roots Manuva is finally back with some new music in the form of a twelve-inch single due for release through Big Dada on 4 May.

Lead track ‘Facety 2:11’ is produced by Four Tet, its title referencing a patois slang word for someone being rude, which is in turn apparently referenced in the track through the rhyming slang “boat race” that is looped to make up the chorus.

The rapper himself describes the track as “a wee spring warmer in voodoo coptic dialect shape shifting: the remit the same as ever in awakening one’s inner, modern day Sun Ra, ODB and Kate Bush on an overdrive of ‘doing because we can’t help ourselves'”.

So there you go. Listen to ‘Facety 2:11’ here:
