The Roots Set to Perform Series of Dates at New York City's Highline Ballroom on November 29th, 30th and December 5th



New Album undun to be Released December 6th

[the-roots-undun-press-release]The legendary Roots crew are set to perform a series of dates in New York City at the Highline Ballroom November 29th, 30th and December 5th. The run of special performances marks the release of their new album entitled undun (Island Def Jam) out December 6th. undun marks the first conceptually-based album from The Roots and quickly reaffirms the creativity of the outfit that are notorious for pushing the envelope. The album's first single "Make My" featuring Big K.I.R.T. was released November 1st on iTunes which Billboard praised, "the musicality of the veteran group shines bright."

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.
