Review

Clash (magazine) (p.116) - "With slick production, 'Again & Again' bounces along with almost childish enthusiasm, whilst 'C.R.U.F.F.' proves that Roots can still pull at the heart strings....This music is timeless."

Review

Spin (p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Describing his 'revolutionary mind-set' and 'evolutionary inklings' in razor-sharp detail, he cuts through SLIME & REASON's rudeboy grime with poker-faced nerve."
Clash (magazine) (p.116) - "With slick production, 'Again & Again' bounces along with almost childish enthusiasm, whilst 'C.R.U.F.F.' proves that Roots can still pull at the heart strings....This music is timeless."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.96) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The] desire to reach back in time makes itself felt in the pared-down sonics' deep shades of dub and dancehall, offset with a palette of futuristic electro."

Product note

'Slime And Reason' is the follow-up to 2006's 'Alternately Deep' from London-based rapper Roots Manuva. Roots aka Rodney Smith has built a solid reputation as one of the best hip hop artists in the UK, mainly through his ability to embrace many different styles while maintaining a high standard of lyrical content and delivery. With more focus on electronics and dub than his previous effort, which employed a live band feel, this is another example of the artist's diversity. Singles include 'Buff Nuff'.

Title Note

Personnel: Roots Manuva (vocals); Mr Versatile, Ricky Ranking (vocals); Hylton Rodney (viola); Theo Gordon (saxophone, tenor horn, synthesizer); Jonny Boy (trumpet, flugelhorn); Bob Earland (synthesizer); Waggerman (bass instrument); Amaziree (background vocals); Gordon G.

Audio Mixers: Ross Orton; Bob Earland.

Arranger: Theo Gordon.

Rodey Smith, aka Roots Manuva, has been a pioneer in the U.K. hip-hop scene for more than a decade, and SLIME & REASON finds him keeping step with of-the-moment contemporaries like the Streets and Dizzee Rascal, while tapping into something more laid back, musical, and global in its influence. "Kick Up Ya Foot" could be lifted from a mid-'90s Busta Rhymes session, but it's kept grounded with Manuva's Guru-esque, mega-chill flow. Elsewhere, on "2 Much 2 Soon," he lets his delivery take on more of a cockney swagger, but juxtaposes it against a spare snare loop with occasional emphatic horn flourishes. And on bangers like "I'm A New Man," Manuva goes for broke with chaotic, El-P-worthy production, bringing the album toward a close with a definitive reaffirmation of his legacy.
