Roots Manuva has spoken of an unlikely collaboration, after hinting he'd work with pop songwriter James Blunt.
During an interview with The Guardian, the rapper said: "I wouldn't mind doing something with...what's his name again? James Blunt."
When asked by the paper if this was a tongue-in-cheek joke, Roots said: "No! Because he's so straight and straightforward."
"Imagine him on one of these weird beats doing a chorus or something, and being so earnest and sincere." Manuva added. "That's beyond abstract. That's beyond avant-garde."
Next week on August 25th, Roots Manuva releases his new album 'Slime And Reason'.
