Win Tickets to see Roots Manuva!

British hip hop legend, Roots Manuva has graced our city boundaries many times before, and even found his face on the Outline magazine front cover a record two times. He has the credentials. 

It's his constant creativity and invention that saw him welcome another studio album to his collection last year, the melting pot of British sounds that is '4everevolution'.

"Everything on this album seems to burst with brilliant vitality" - Metro, 5/5, Album of the Week 

"It’s a veritable treasure chest of an album, an embarrassment of riches proving that one of the UK’s longest-serving rappers is also one of its most vital and relevant." -The Line of Best Fit 

"A tidy summation of Roots' myriad moods, it plays almost like a greatest hits set, skittering with casual genius" - Mojo, 4/5 

It's easy for the reviews of '4everevolution', to leave everyone with no doubt as to how important Roots Manuva is to British Hip Hop and British Music in general. Clocking in at just a few seconds under an hour long and consisting of seventeen tracks, the album covers every style from wonky reggae through pop-funk, street spitting, straight up hip hop, sung ballads and epic death-disco. 

Touring the album extensively this year, our old friend takes in Norwich when he hits The Waterfront on February 1st.
