The Roots [The Undun Video Series]








Over the last few weeks, Okayplayer have premiered a four piece video series in preparation for the The Roots new album, The Undun. As has been reported, the new record is a narrative which can best be described below:

"undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford’s internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out ‘on the corner’. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented–postmortem–and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun"
The album drops December 6th
