The Roots & Bilal Put Together A Funky NPR Tiny Desk Concert

blame it on Meka October 30, 2017

It was only a matter time.

Following Thundercat’s drunk medley, The Roots and Bilal (literally) crammed themselves into NPR Tiny Desk Concert series.

Ten deep (including a full brass section) they would perform an elongated version of their song “It Ain’t Fair,” The Roots’ contribution to the soundtrack for the film Detroit. The end result is a 12-minute jam session fueled by funk and soul.

Hopefully this is the type of effort they’ve put into the over 300 songs the group has recorded for their next album. Watch it below.
