Roots Biography
Featuring an infamous human beatbox/turntable backing up three MCs, the Roots have elevated hip-hop music by using live instrumentation instead of samples. Performing in the underground hip-hop circuit since 1987, the group has made waves in both the rap and jazz scenes since their first album in 1995. In an era where hip-hop's classic elements have been swallowed in a vortex of cheap imitations, the Roots continue to redefine themselves as both musicians and storytellers, while still garnering the respect of hardcore fans and the press alike.
