The Roots - Make My
Artist: The Roots
Featuring: Big K.R.I.T , Dice Raw
Producer: Khari Mateen
Album: undun
Label: Def Jam
Can I belatedly put “Hear a Roots and Big K.R.I.T. collaboration” on my bucket list just so I can cross it off? Frankly the thought of the legendary Philly crew and the Meridian, Miss. representer working together didn’t cross my mind until today, but once I heard their new single Make My I knew it was the moment I’ve been waiting for…even if I didn’t know I was waiting for it. Does that make any sense? Maybe we should just get into the music before I confuse you further. Producer Khari Mateen puts together a beat that can hardly be described as a beat – a sonic landscape painted by the live instruments of The Roots players is more like it. It’s a backdrop that Krizza and frontman Black Thought, along with a bluesy hook from an unidentified singer, use to reveal the darker side of the materialism that drives so much of our lives: “Lord forgive us for riding Benz’ with camera plates / too busy lookin backwards for jackers to pump my brakes.” While KRIT’s work on Make My is the album’s only feature, The Roots have never had a problem rolling solo – their upcoming album undun drops December 6.

 I didn't see this one coming, but now that we have it we can listen on repeat. In just a few short months Big K.R.I.T has gone from buzzing newcomer to in-demand collaborator. I couldn't be happier for him.

I really can't wait for this project. I love concept albums and this promises to be incredibly deep. I'm really excited to see how this song will tie into the story. While it has that classic roots soulish vibe there is something new and appealing about it. And of course the rookie of the year K.R.I.T. just makes it all the more better.
