Last week, I was watching Late Night w/Jimmy Fallon and his house band, the Roots, just happened to be the music act on the show, promoting their new album, undun.
After checking it out, I must say that the Roots' 13th album is one of their best, if not most thoughtful. undun is a concept album that tells the story of Redford Stephens, a bootstrapping hustler, and his eventual downfall, with one vital twist-the story begins at his death and moves backwards in time back to his birth.
The music is outstanding, sonically speaking, and the lyrical content and rapping are solid throughout. A very interesting release from one of the finest and most intelligent hip-hop artists on the planet...
