Their most political release to date, co-founder ?uestlove describes it as “more mature and intense than all of our efforts.” The track, “Criminal”, deals with issues of injustice and life on the streets and features guests Truck North and Saigon.

For Round 1 of the contest, The Roots have made the original stems from “Criminal” available to Indaba users. The eclectic sound and live-instrument arrangement of the track give you unlimited possibilities for remixing and re-imagination – so get started now!
