Anyone who’s followed the career of The Roots won’t be at all surprised at the arrival of their tenth studio effort, just 18 months after How I Got Over. They shouldn’t be shocked to learn either that, on Undun, the alt-hip hop collective are once again proving they’re as ambitious as they are prolific. Telling the life story of semi-fictional hustler Redford Stephens in reverse, ?uestlove and crew cast a satirical eye on the motivations behind a life of crime, unleashing their pro flows over a typically eclectic soundtrack that draws on a myriad of influences, including soul, free-jazz, R&B and classical. Inventive and thought-provoking, it’s a career high for Philly’s finest.
