This week is special, as we dive into the work of one of rap’s greatest groups - The Roots. We’re joined by Dead End Hip Hop’s Roots super fan, Beezy, to talk about their incredible three album run…

 

1995’s Do You Want More?!!!??!, Illadelph Halflife from 1996, and Things Fall Apart - their 1999 classic.

 

Throughout this journey you’ll hear from the group and their fans, with dope contributions from Dart Adams, John Morrison, Zilla Rocca, Nate LeBlanc, Vice Beats, Weird Rap and The Next Movement Podcast.
