Background
The story of Life
Geospin's favourite music was hip hop and his favourite artist Nelly. We wrote to several artists but did not expect any quick replies. We were therefore amazed when, a week later, LH Management who look after Roots Manuva phoned the office to say that Rodney Smith might be interested in being involved. We were delighted. The number one British rapper working with Geospin on his song. How cool is that!
Roots Manuva was touring Europe and America at the time and I was not hopeful that we would be able to fit in a recording date before the end of July, but we found a date where Rodney could meet Geospin at the primary school in Brixton 23 May 2005. We met at the school because it seemed appropriate to try and find a way of including the voices of the primary school children who had posted messages to Geospin so that the online messaging was honoured in the final recording.
