The Roots - Undun (Full Final Cut)



After reading all the reviews about this project and watching this video, we sure don't need more convincing, we gonna cop ourselves a copy.

On their website the project is explained "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."


Undun is already rumored to be a possible contender in the Album of the Year category, only time can tell.
