…and the reasoning looks to be nothing more than an evolution as a solo artist (he’s still very much a representative of the group). Check out the below message posted on his Instagram:

ROLLDEEPMANGA IS GONE LONG LIVE MANGA SAINT HILARE Some of you might of noticed that I’ve changed my name. Well it’s more of an update than a change,I’m still Manga. Before everyone starts with the “have you left RollDeep?” stuff No I haven’t. They are my brothers,I’ll always be in RollDeep & make music with them. I’m proud of everything I’ve achieved with them. I don’t want people just to follow me on some nostalgia vibe of “I used to listen to roll deep” or on the basis on what we’ve done. The reason I’ve taken the “RollDeep” part out of my username is because it’s time I make my own mark with my solo music. Manga has been my mc name since school & that’s just it,it’s just a “mc” name. I feel like I’m way past being just an mc I’m an artist now. Everything I’m saying in my music is for a reason & carries a lot of meaning. It’s my stories,issues & thoughts. No more trying to prove to people I can spit or I’ve good lyrics,I’ve grown out of that. I know my abilities & talents,spending time convincing people who don’t want listen to like me. Is pointless. No more shouting over others to get my story heard. So I had to make a change that will show the difference from the mc I was to the artist I am now. So yeah everyone that believes in me & wants me wish me well in my journey forward from here. Just continue to follow & listen to my music. If you not here for that please unfollow so I can see who’s really here. New music is on it’s way Plus it will be NUFF easier to search my name no more kinky Japanese cartoons popping up lol Thankswickedcoolsafe – Manga Saint Hilare #TheReluctantAdventurer coming soon
