Episode 71: The Roots Every Album Ever with Mike & Alex

See this content in the original post

This week we’re discussing Black Thought and Questlove’s The Roots. While they are known these days for being the house band for the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Roots have a long, diverse, and fascinating discography. This is a rare artist for us to cover because they are still active, but an important band nonetheless. Dig it.

Closing track: “You Got Me” from Dave Chappelle’s Block Party (2005)
