Product Description
Product Details
Performer Notes
  • Personnel: Wrongtom (guitar, keyboards, percussion).
  • Illustrator: Tony McDermott.
  • In 2002, shortly after he released the excellent Run Come Save Me, Roots Manuva followed with the remix record, Dub Come Save Me, which trumped one of his best original LPs to become the seminal LP of his career. Duppy Writer is another remix record, this time with Wrongtom replacing the good Lord Gosh (aka Roots Manuva himself) as main producer. (Additional production is prevalent, though, including Steve Dub, Toddla T, Lotek's Wayne Bennett, and Roots himself.) Though always rooted in dub and reggae, Roots has never had this type of backing in his career, a skeletal, half-step digi-dancehall sound that suits his voice perfectly. Of course, there's plenty of dub on display too, as well as the organ-led rocksteady for "Worl' a Mine." Duppy Writer ably serves either of two purposes, an alternate career retrospective or a remix record of taste and distinction. ~ John Bush
Professional Reviews
Mojo (Publisher) (p.96) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Throughout Roots Manuva's deft, already reggae-leaning rhyming achieves a perfect fit with Wrongtom's bang-on use of rhythm, bass and sound effects."

Mojo (Publisher) (p.56) - Ranked #17 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "Roots' reggae-cognisant rhyming was a natural fit with Wrongtom's sharp reanimations of styles from late '60s onwards..."

Uncut (magazine) (p.105) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The result is Roots Manuva's most purely pleasurable long-player."
