The one, the only 'Juggle Tings Proper', a bass-propelled journey out of the psyche of the man sometimes known as Roots Manuva, sometimes Rodney Simit.They're calling it deep, they're calling it dark, but it's so much richer than that - sly sly humour and the attitude that space is only the place if space is in Stockwell, a 'There May Trouble Ahead' for any
generation who hasn't already got a theme tune. Also featuring the Stockrockwell remix of 'Strange Behaviour' and a truly dangerous remix from El-Producto of Company Flow fame, this is a singular single. You could talk all day, list the lyrics, spend an hour dissecting and describing the samples and you still wouldn't get there.

"A plaintive groove, a peerless bass wobble and Manuva 'spinning a ball of confusion', prowling through a song about ugly men on his TV, global economic collapse and being a superstar from Peckham to Box Hill which sells his expertise extraordinarily short, frankly. If this is how Roots Manuva 'juggles tings' we look forward to him breathing fire, riding the trapeze and pulling bunnies from a hat before long."

"Enter Roots Manuva... a blathering psycho (always a good start) who combines his emetic slew of ga-ga paranoic fantasy with music equally as roach-twitching and unearthly. Big Dada are a label to watch and this is their best release yet. The original's thuggish, the Co-Flow remix jangles the brain, so steal this away and let it fuck up your week."
|
|
|
"A deep dub bassline and a trademark (read unique) Roots Manuva flow add up to more groundbreaking hip hop from Ninja's daddy label... the rhymes are strictly intelligent and the beats loud with a dark dub twist - you know this is the real thing."
|
|
|
"Some real dark shit."
|
|
|
"'Juggle Tings Proper', with his trademark ragga-tinted delivery over a bassline fat enough to make you shit yourself, shows UK hip hop in its best (and darkest) light. Roots Manuva is one to watch."
|
|
|
"Massive, lowering beats with a heavy dub inflection, a hypnotic, one-note sample to lift them and a deep, dark rap that trawls through Roots' own (stream of) consciousness, dredging up universal truths as it goes. The debut album of this old skool maverick promises to be a bomb."
|
|
|
"Da tune where the shit really drops. Nu-skool rough licks and deep sub-bass.Cool."
|
|
|
"Big Dada won the golden trophy for strongest all-round label of '98 and judging by their first release in the double9 they will rule into the next millenium... the beats are some futuristic yet rootsy funk and the lyricism is abstract yet simple to digest... get off your ass and buy this immediately you won't be disappointed."

|
"The rugged yet smooth street preacher returns on this raw underground track which shows he knows how to juggle tings proper... watch this prolific South Londoner turn brok pocket affairs into pennies from heaven."
