Tippa Irie, the originator of so-called "speed rapping" or "fast talking" and still one of the best DJs from the UK, describes 'Stick To My Roots' as his best album to date and who are we to contradict him? Fact is that his cooperation with the German Far East Band (the ex-backing band of Gentleman) has produced an extremely enjoyable album with Tippa doing his thing, verbally inimitable, humorous and never vulgar or slack.
