The Grime pioneer who starting the foundations of the scene with Roll Deep Crew has recently undergone a metamorphosis — less braggadocios and explicit, more thought provoking and insightful. Manga Saint Hilaire’s lyrics have begun to carry more powerful messages, telling stories of life on the outskirts of popular culture.
With this new body of work a solid 16 tracks of constant quality, the likes of P Money, Novelist, Jammer and Murkage Dave, Manga continues to underline his reputation as one of the most talented and naturally gifted emcees in the city, perhaps overlooked but supremely comfortable with his position of elder statesman in the game – whilst still packing the style and pedigree to trade bars with the cream of UK top-tier talent.
