Manasseh is a name of at least two artists: [1] A mononym of Nick Manasseh, who began producing music for sound system exclusives around 1986 and after hooking up with Scruff Guilder in 1987 started to concentrate on a particular project, which eventually became Sound Iration in Dub. The first single "Seventh Seal" was cut on the 8/8/88 and was big on the roots scene (and Shaka's sound !), and was widely credited with being the first new wave UK dub track.
