Over the last couple of weeks we have shown video snippets released by The Roots to give a better understanding of their new album ‘Undun’. Today we can present an almost 10 minute short film, which connects the previously released snippets, telling the story of a young man who dies following a short life of crime.

Check out the film here below.

The Roots drop another video off their forthcoming album undun, “Sleep” feat. Aaron Livingston produced by Hot Sugar. Video Directed, Shot & Edited by Clifton Bell.

Another week has passed and The Roots have released the video to ‘Stomp’ today, after having released the videos to ‘Tip The Scale’ last week and ‘Make My’ the week before. Their upcoming album, undun, releases December 2011.

Check out the video here below.

After having presented the video for ‘Make My’ the other day, we are back today with the visuals for ‘Tip The Scale’. Their 13th album, undun, will be released in the next month and is definitely something we are looking forward to!

The legendary Roots crew are back with a new album entitled undun this coming December, but until then, check out this video for “Make My” until you can get the full dose 12/6.

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.

Check out the teaser video for John Varvatos’ Fall/Winter 2011 campaign featuring The Roots.

We present “The Legendary – A Film About The Roots”, including live footage and interviews with the iconic musicians.

“During the latter part of 2010 Jeff Baraka and I had the opportunity to cover a number of concerts on the Hennessey Artistry Tour with the Legendary Roots Crew. I have always been a huge fan of the music created by the best band to ever grace the Hip-Hop genre. In this film I wanted to not only highlight the versatility of a group that has played with most everyone in the industry. But also capture candid moments of real human beings just trying to share the gifts they have been given to the best of their abilities.

In addition to the Hennessey Tour, we got an chance to sit down with drummer ?uestlove at the House of Blues in Chicago as the Roots gave the audience a glimpse of why they are considered by many the hardest working band in show biz. All and all the Roots have proven time again that they are indeed Legendary.” Via NR.

Enjoy!

After a trailer not too long ago, the official video of The Roots “The Fire” track, featuring John Legend, has been released today. The video has been directed by Rik Cordero. Check it out!

John Legend & the Roots cover Ernie Hines’ “Our Generation” for Levi’s new Pioneer Sessions campaign.

“Legend and The Roots’s modern interpretation of “Our Generation” retains the all of the authenticity of the original track: It gets funky from the outset, with big fat brass and an ice cold keyboard vamp, inspirational backing singers and a particularly gritty vocal by Legend who reiterates Hines’s 40-year-old message about making the future better by “getting rid of all the hate.”

Check out the behind the scenes video above and download the track here.

The official video for The Roots’ “Dear God 2.0″ from How I Got Over, out in stores everywhere tomorrow. Directed by Jason Goldwatch.
