The Roots-UnDun [review]
This is a story that we all know too well. It may be a friend or family member. The story of a young man, fighting to make something of his life when the odds of against him. That’s the story of semi-fictitious Redford Stephens (1975-1999), the focal point of the concept album UnDun. Although this is a story that is known all too well, it is still a story worth telling. And The Roots tell the story like no one else could.
