Things are gettin, Awfully Deep Awfully Deep, I can't get no sleep Things are gettin, Awfully Deep Awfully Deep, Awfully Deep. I don't do mind games, I'm frame by frame I'm eighteen bits, I'm fourty-eight hertz My favourite tie tied to my Dicky Dirts My flirt tac-tics are so damn sublime MY long-john greased with slippery slime My prime cut, move ya butt, twist ya nut From ya don't know issht then keep ya.

For all I know, 2001 was a great year for Roots Manuva. The British rapper's album Run Come Save Me had introduced a heavy, claustrophobic, dub-inflected strain of hip-hop, going gold in the UK and earning Manuva a Mercury Music Prize nomination in the process. But I can't shake the image of Manuva staring at the "21 Seconds" video, shaking his head, muttering to himself, realizing that his time was over just as it was starting. Since 2001, everything has changed. Grime has become Britain's homegrown hip-hop, and Manuva can't possibly hope to compete

Roots Manuva, Awfully Deep. Awfully Deep is in part a record of what seems to have been a strange, dark time since Smith last released an album. Neither does it bow beneath the worthiness that often freights underground hip-hop.

Not entirely throwing away his previous dark style shown in 'Brand New Second Hand', 'Awfully Deep' enjoys its pure reliance on its electronic and dubs style. Roots Manuva’s inconsistent remix album Dub Come Save Me was patchy in many places, showing only glimpses of what he could do if done correctly. His lyrical and vocal talents are his greatest strengths, yet ‘Awfully Deep’ is more of a concentrated electronic and dub offering. Mixing elements of his past towards the present (think Brand New Second Hand plus the best parts of Dub Come Save Me) Roots Manuva brings his presence to the forefront again.
