Today in Hip-Hop — theroots released their third album, ‘Illadelph Halflife.’
On September 24, 1996, The Roots followed up ‘Do You Want More?!!!??!’ with a new album that expanded their sound with the contributions of Jazz and R&B musician. The album features appearances from Common, Dice Raw, Raphael Saadiq, Q-Tip, D’Angelo, and more.
The back cover of ‘Illadelph Halflife’ lists the first song as track 34, rather than track 1, implying that all of their albums are continuous stories flowing into one another—a traditional they continued all the way through to 2011’s ‘Undun.’
