JAMES BLUNT - ROOTS MANUVA TO COLLABORATE WITH JAMES BLUNT

ROOTS MANUVA has claimed that he is planning to work with housewives favourite JAMES BLUNT.

The hip hop artist is set to release his latest album SLIME AND REASON today (September 1st), but has suggested that he may be back in the studio with Blunt in the near future.

However, it seems the collaboration is relatively unplanned at this stage, with Roots telling the BBC: "We'll just get in the studio, have a few wines, eat some cake and go for it."

Talking about how the unlikely partnership came about, he added: "I’m a personal friend of his [Blunt's] guitarist and he put the message in, and he's up for it.

"It could be pretty soon, I've got some time off coming up soon so I’m gonna pursue it, I’m definitely gonna try and get something in the bag."

ROOTS MANUVA recently played a well-received slot at this year's V Festival in Staffordshire.
