Description
Over the course of the last 15 years, the Philadelphia-based Roots crew have managed to get and keep their name on the lips of anyone even remotely interested in organic hip-hop. The band has a shifting cast of musicians and MCs, but the two most recognizable figures are drummer ?uestlove and MC Black Thought, who also founded the group. Slowly but steadily, the Roots have evolved their sound from a jazzy, improvisational bent into a formidable hip-hop and neo-soul studio act. Their last album, Game Theory, hit the mark conceptually as a scathing social and political critique, but suffered from a wealth of unenjoyable musical ideas. Their newest album, Rising Down, is a return to form, reestablishing the Roots as the undisputed kings of live hip-hop.
