The Roots Come Alive.

The Roots:
Noun

2. a brand of canned coffee generating steady sales figure in Japan. (JT Roots Coffee)

3. also known as The Legendary Roots Crew, The Fifth Dynasty, The Square Roots and The Foundation, are an influential, Grammy winning Philadelphia-based hip-hop group, famed for a heavily jazzy sound and live instrumentation. (wikipedia)

4. "one of the greatest live concert that I'd ever been to..." (Dr. 皮)

5. the release of their 2006 LP Game Theory ranked up top on my most playcounts on i-tunes, best album to play with your windows down while driving down the fast lane in the breezy Taipei nights, and most definitely one of the top three memorable releases in 2006. (b.)


on that note, I'm gonna share with you one of my latest findings: therootslive.com

this site contains live performances from the Legendary Roots Crew dating all the way back to 1993... with all the files in easily-download-able .mp3 formats...
