We all love Roots Manuva's music, right? Well, we should do 'cause he's a fucking hero but that's not the reason I'm writing about him here. Witness came from his second album, Run Come Save Me after his amazing first (Brand New Second Hand) and it was an instant classic. It's a pounding, infectious mix of hip-hop and Jamaican soundsystems, complete with space echos. Love those space echos. But it's the self-deprecating, hilarious video of Rodney Smith's 'one hope, one quest' to crush little school children that I'm talkin' 'bout.
"Cause right now I see clearer than most, I sit here contending with this cheese on toast"
