Awfully Deep

Roots Manuva

Rodney Smith explores introspective territory by combining experimental rhythms with his own perspective. The record reflects the restless energy of the UK hip-hop scene during this period, focusing on a mix of electronic sounds and raw grit.

South London life informs the claustrophobic yet expansive nature of the audio. By pushing against traditional genre boundaries, the work highlights a move toward more personal and surreal lyrical themes. It remains a notable example of the artist's range.
