Awfully De/EP

Roots Manuva

Murky, dub-heavy hip-hop that feels like a slow walk through South London at 3am. Resonant baritone vocals over basslines that breathe like living things.

October 24, 2005 · Big Dada Recordings

Find on Amazon

A heavy, nocturnal meditation on life in the city, balanced between grit and soul.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the bassline on Seat Yourself feels like it's physically pushing against the air in the room.
The Metronomy remix's shift into a jittery, mechanical pulse that contrasts with the original's organic sludge.
The moment the Diplo remix strips back the weight for a sharper, more percussive attack.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
