Roots Manuva featuring Rokhsan – ‘Get the Get’ (Big Dada Records)

Roots has been around long enough now to have his name pre-fixed with the words ‘the legendary’. Now on his fifth album, the forthcoming ‘4everevolution’, he serves up an electro tinged first release from the album. Possibly influenced by the hip-house of Wiley and other grime acts, Roots won’t make the huge crossover Tini, Tinchy, Dizzee have, but that’s mainly because of his career long refusal to sell out, an act which alone makes him stand out from the rest. 7/10
