I've always wanted to ask a question too, so here goes mine: You were approached by many majors a few years ago, but you declined to go with any of them and stayed with Big Dada. How do you feel about that decision now in hindesight?
Yo, Roooots! Good to see you back. Big Dada has a way of never disappointing. Qwestion...what are the origins of your name?
Love it!!!!!....but spread it real thin
Marmite. Love it... or hate it?
Is there anything you can do to bring the bass back to American hip hop???
As the hip hop market in the US gets more and more centralized around one type of sound, have you ever given any thought into working with American producers in an effort to break bigger in the States? If so, what US producers are really doing it for you at the moment so much that you would hunt them down to work with them?
Alright everyone, next up in our "Burning Questions" promotion is British MC/producer Roots Manuva. Manuva's unique mixture of dancehall, ragga and bouncy dub beats with clever raps rhythms made him one of the pioneers of the British hip-hop scene while opening doors for artists like Dizzee Rascal, Ty and The Streets. He has garnered a Mercury Prize nomination, numerous awards and praise in the press. His latest 'Awfully Deep' hits streets in the US on April 19th. All you have to do is reply to this post and pose your question for Roots Manuva. We will then randomly pick 5 questions from the bunch and direct them to him. The final questions and answers will be posted under the Lifestyle section of our site at a later date. Let's see how 'deep' you guys can go!
