Black Thought and guests tell a poignant story of the circumstances and choices that lead to his demise over neo soul, funk, \u0026amp; indie-influenced production (handled mostly by QuestLove), and the record ends with a gorgeous 4-part suite, which starts with Sufjan Stevens's \"Redford (For Yia-Yia \u0026amp; Pappou).\" The central theme is heavy \u0026amp; troubled, and the instrumentals, layered with lush piano \u0026amp; other live-band elements, are perfectly tailored to capturing the mood. What's refreshing is how the narrative avoids popular rap music tropes; Stephens is in the drug game, but rather than glamorizing the lifestyle, Undun unravels a tale of \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ea man (\"...is based on a combination of maybe four to five people that we know in Philadelphia.\") that meets an untimely death after going through an existential crisis. Tracks to check out: \"Sleep,\" \"Make My,\" \"The OtherSide,\" and \"Tip the Scale.\" Big K.R.I.T., Dice Raw, Phonte, Greg Porn, and Bilal make guest appearances.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egatefold sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eclear vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Def Jam Recordings 2011 \/ 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by singing in japanese 07\/19\u003c\/h6\u003e.","brand":"The Roots","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":17432962760794,"sku":"hh-5052","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/roots-undun-clear.jpg?v=1759276992","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/the-roots-undun-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
