[oh crap]

Damn is all I can say. Buy this album on the 6th. NPR streaming if you have doubts.

I'll check it out. Sounds cool and I like the Roots OK (no homo).

After 25 years, a dozen records and multiple awards, the Roots (http://theroots.com/) are trying something new -- a full-length concept album. Already known for pushing the boundaries of hip-hop, the Roots' "undun" tells the story of the short life of Redford Stephens, a fictional character from Philadelphia who gets caught up in the drug trade and meets an early yet inevitable demise.
Told in a reverse narrative, each track on the album deconstructs pivotal moments in Stephens' life as he becomes "undun."
