    In an age of intense American cultural imperialism, where so many London artist, that should know better are looking like a poor man’s JayZ and Kanye. There stands such a pure example of a London thing. For years this guy has made tunes that reek of where they are from. And he is up there with the greats.
    Now joined by Little Sims in flying a culturally diverse flag while keeping it real.
    Meanwhile some people are wrapping about Rolexes and Probation.
    Rodrick Manuva! Thank you for taking me back to driving through London streets anytime I choose.

    That I wanted to listen to this song popped into my head about 40 seconds ago. My whole body felt a rush of warmth and good vibes rising as I typed the title into the search bar. A little smile started to play at the corner of my lips of its own accord. There's something about this track, that evokes a wonderful sense of ease, engagement and way of being.

You're going to be nothing soon, and you're wasting your precious time on this nonsense, slaving away, paying tax, helping your civilization to fund war and exploitation? The clock is ticking.

      real, reveal, with wine we come again
      ever more bouncy, no need to re announce me
      dying and crying but they just can't denounce me
      Let the spirit move you
      Let the spirit soothe you
      Let the spirit know you
      Tantamount summon the court of pure heat
      resourced from the first resort the word spoke
      actuality is the zone and emotion
      we make the most of the cause and commotion
      akin to things we're into things
      mind and soul, with bling within
      and stay, true to us, we do for us
      articulate such and such
      man o man, been anoint for long time
      man o man seen a point for long time
      this is very necessary with we
      and that necessity be
      of the upmost importance see
      applied with that urgency
      with the, the us, the I and the T
      take promotion, we shall be free
      Let the spirit move you
      Let the spirit soothe you
      Let the spirit know you
      Told those dudes I was sensitive
      you ain't, down for mine, I can sense your shit
      Stick to my own I ain't one to mix
      with the hoobla ra ra, or the politics
      friends come and go, but we hip unto the causes
      reasonable stench, my definition of the Lord is:
      The strength that break the shackle and the chain
      The strength that break the shackle in the brain
      Let the spirit move you
      Let the spirit soothe you
      Let the spirit know you
