Still burning up the airwaves with Toddla T on Watch Me Dance, Rodney Smith aka Roots Manuva returns to Australia with his full live band performing tracks off his brand new album 4everevolution as well as the classics from one of the most indelliable figures on the world Hip Hop stage over the last twelve years.Making his mark with 1999’s debut Brand New Second Hand, Roots Manuva’s classic gravelly Jamaican flow has never been matched and his complex subject matter and use of language has developed across albums Run Come Save Me, Awfully Deep, Slime & Reason and a number of Dub interpretations and remixes of those albums. He has been a mainstay of Australian radio with tunes like Witness (One Hope), Collosal Insight and Let The Spirit dominating both airwaves and clubs still to this day.His new album explores many sides and tempos of music perhaps not immediately associated with Smith, whose usual bag is a mix of smokey, reggae influenced downtempo and soundsystem culture....
