Roots Manuva

Roots Manuva

Roots Manuva (* 1972 in London; richtiger Name Rodney Hylton Smith) ist ein britischer Hip-Hop-Künstler. Seinen Stil zeichnet eine Mixtur aus Hip Hop mit Reggae, Dub mit starken Einflüssen aus der elektronischen Musik aus. Er verwendet einen deutlich britisch geprägten Sprachstil und schreibt seine Texte dementsprechend. Roots Manuva veröffentlicht auf Big Dada, dem Hip-Hop-Ableger des Experimental-Labels Ninja Tune, das von Coldcut betrieben wird. Seine Musik gilt als Vorläufer des Grime.

Smith wuchs in Stadtteil Stockwell im London Borough of Lambeth im Süden Londons auf. Seine Eltern stammen aus dem kleinen Dorf Banana Hole auf Jamaika, wo sich sein Vater als Prediger betätigte.
