Roots Uprising is a prime example of the versatility, and distinctly vibrant style that Reggae Roast has become synonymous with; a consistently positive and conscious message combined with earth shattering bass-lines and booty shaking beats.
Two major features of the album come from UK Dub pioneer Adrian Sherwood & the new-found kings of digital Roots; Mungo’s Hifi.
