Summary
emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Roots Manuva, originally episode 63 from 2015-10-14.
Perhaps the greeting on this one should be "Well(come) Well(come) Well(come)"... Your chance to re-Witness the debut appearance of Roots Manuva on the podcast, whose appearance is hugely welcome and very nice to hear again after all these years. Whether you caught onto him in recent years through his work with folk like Four Tet, or you're a head since Witness bust the UK hip hop wide open, or perhaps like me (Buddy here ✌🏼) you caught his old skool work wit IQ Procedure on Max & Dave's rap show on Kiss FM! Those were the days. I let my tape rock til my tape pop, I tell you that much. Anyway - a champion on the scene, whether you focus on the UK side of Hip Hop or the greater culture itself. This is a really nice chance to hear a great episode you might have missed.
