"undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford's internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out 'on the corner'. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented--postmortem--and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun."
December 6th is the date of the release of The Roots' conceptual thirteenth studio album, undun, via Def Jam Records. In anticipation of the release, they drop visuals for "Make My" featuring Big K.R.I.T., the first out of four videos, also part of the 10 song narrative that will be told in reverse beginning with the end of Stephens’ life.
The video was directed, shot & edited by Clifton Bell, who illustrated a 2-minute dark and violent clip of an extremely bloody shootout between two men all in slow motion and in black & white. "Visually striking and powerful" as a whole.
Each Tuesday at 12:06 p.m. for the next three weeks, the Roots will release a new video from the album. The next one will be "Stomp". (via Pitchfork)
