“Undun”, the Roots concept album about a fictional Philadelphia drug dealer, debuts on Dec. 6 but for a limited time you can stream the album on NPR. The story is told in reverse order starting with the death of Redford Stevens, the man the album is based on. ?uestlove spoke with NPR about the album’s concept, the Roots’ start, his love of hip hop, growing up all around music and, lastly, his line of Nike sneakers.
Here’s ?uestlove on the concept of the album and Redford Stevens:
“So long story short, in my head I always had Avon Barksdale as kind of the prototype for what Redford was built on: a person that wasn’t born a criminal. But I didn’t want him to be the hero nor the pitied upon subject … This is literally 24 hours in his life, and he could make any decision that he wanted to and this is the path he chose and what happens happened. It sounds simple, but it was hard to do … It’s probably one of the hardest things not to make it overdramatic. Overdramatic in terms of I took all the gun stuff off the record, we took all of just anything that would lead to this as a drug dealer’s story. This is more or less a person who happens to be a drug dealer that had complex thoughts, and we sort of just made it into the record. And that was a hard thing.”
You can read the rest of the interview here. It’s a long but fantastic read.

Frantik - Da Art of Hearts Breaking
I’m glad to introduce to you guys a brand new song, an exclusive only featured on womazing.com, titled “Da Art of Hearts Breaking” by Frantik. This song begins with heartfelt lyrics that express the emcees feelings and views of life. What I like about Frantik is he always finds a way to turn lyrics that seem a bit heavy, into a situation wherein he teaches his listeners a lesson or two. In this song he displays one of his main directions in music, which is to turn learning experiences into a message, or series of them, for others. -VIA Womazing.com
… Here’s what was said shout to the whole WordIsBond team!! “PEACE! Kassie & Lils from Womazing | aside from that, shouts to any dog ass hoe @ flaw ass niggas who inspired the record.

Sincere Vega - Questions Pt. 1 (Prod. Maxx Julian)
Sincere Vega - Trouble (Prod. Maxx Julian)
Sincere Vega - Movin Blocks (Prod. Maxx Julian)
This album is truly representative of modern creative culture. Maxx Julian, a producer from Detroit, Michigan, was connected with Sincere Vega, emcee-producer from Orlando, Florida through a well-known Hiphop blog, TheWordIsBond.com. Initially, @602Diggler, one of the site’s research/writers, reached out to Sincere Vega after hearing some of his previous releases to collaborate with Maxx Julian. The two had no knowledge of each other until @602Diggler sent Vega the already-titled-instrumental for what would become the song “Blisters”. Maxx suggested the idea of a full-length album to Vega, featuring Maxx’s production and Vega’s rhymes. This release represents the freedom and access provided by the internet. Maxx Julian contributes fresh boom-bap beats that radiate character and creativity while keeping true to his Hiphop roots. Sincere Vega contributes new-school rhymes that exhibit massive storytelling and a range of emotional content. This is an album for all sectors of the broad spectrum of Hiphop listeners. Enjoy.
