14: Roots Manuva - Awfully Deep


Considering he didn't touch the top ten, three records in the company of Roots and I'm not sold. I like his voice and his lyrics are interesting. But there's something about the production that leaves me a little cold.

This is a good record, perhaps not the best of the three that are on the list. Typical Roots rapping over some electronica isn production. I still feel that the best things I've heard from him are the tracks on Countryman. On this record I really like The Falling which strangely sounds like a Countryman outtake, it's less forgettable than the other tracks. But otherwise, I have no inclination to seek out more.

Here's a terrible video for The Falling:
