HERITAGE: Roots Manuva Connects With Skitz For This Classic UK Hip-Hop Anthem "Where My Mind Is At" (1996)

It's hard to overstate just how ahead of his time Roots Manuva was when he first started releasing music in the mid-'90s. Way before anyone else, Roots Manuva had already developed his own language and a truly unique style that mixed jazz, boom bap, sound system culture and more.

This was one of his first releases and it was an absolute gem. His creative partnership with legendary DJ/producer Skitz was always fruitful and thankfully the pair repeated it many times over the years. A thoughtful, sharp-witted and creative run-through of exactly what's on his mind in an almost free-form, stream-of-consciousness cascade.

Seven years since his last, a new Roots Manuva album can't come soon enough.
