As promised, The Roots just “leaked” the first single from their upcoming album undun called “Make My,” which features Big K.R.I.T. The LP is scheduled to drop December 6 via Island Def Jam. It’s the band’s first conceptually-based album as explained in their press release.
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.
You can check out “Make My” below as well as the rest of the album’s track list.
