The monitor is taken from his forthcoming Roots & Tings album, which intends to showcase the present parallels between reggae and Hip Hop.

All through 2019, Lateef will roll out a brand new single each month accompanied by restricted version t-shirts and authentic art work. Every launch will even be accessible each on vinyl 45s and digital platforms.
“Roots & Tings happened as an natural evolution an concept to do remixes for a mixtape, that led to extra conversations and authentic concepts, which led to extra songs,” Lateef explains. “The title Roots & Tings got here from the concept that music ought to mirror the soul — or the ‘Root’ — the music we have been making, and all the ways in which we added on to these authentic concepts with new concepts and interpretations could be the ‘Tings.’”
Roots & Tings is predicted to reach towards the top 2019.
