The Roots: Hop over to the UK
sean by Sean Adams January 11th, 2003
Critical, Intelligent, Loved-up, Hip-hop collective who kinda spawned the career of Jill Scott and had a hit featuring Erykah Badu, are on their way over to fix our souls..

It's rather apt that these UK dates as part of The Roots 'Phrenology' World Tour, should be announced amid the media hysteria about "black" music. If you like your hip-hop soulful, organic and full of lyrical imagery'n'wit, check out the Roots..

March
28 Manchester, University
29 London, Brixton Academy
30 Bristol, Bristol Academy

DiScuss: Can a culture kill people when its the guns that kill people? Will censoring us from listening to urban music, solve anything at all? Praps Hollywood and its glamourisation of drugs, is much more to blame?
