The Roots tell a story backwards on undun, a 2011 concept album that follows the short, doomed life of a young man named Redford Stephens.
By then the Philadelphia band were famous as late-night television's house band, but they used undun to remind everyone of their ambition in the studio. The album opens with Redford's death and works in reverse, tracing the choices and pressures that led him there. Black Thought carries most of the story, with Dice Raw, Phonte, Big K.R.I.T. and Greg Porn adding other perspectives.
"Sleep" sets the mood with a haunted, slow-motion reflection on mortality, "Make My" brings Big K.R.I.T. into a soulful, aching meditation on fate, and "Kool On" offers a brief moment of warm, vintage swagger. "Tip the Scale" closes the rap portion with an unflinching reckoning.
The final stretch turns instrumental, beginning with "Redford," a Sufjan Stevens piece that gave the character his name, before a four-movement suite brings the album to a moody, almost classical close.
Under 40 minutes long, it is one of the tightest and most daring records in the Roots catalogue, a hip-hop novella best heard from start to finish in a single sitting. Few albums in the genre manage to say this much in so little time.
