Philadelphia's Legendary Roots Crew are set to unleash their 13th studio LP entitled Undun.

The rec will drop on December 6th via Def Jam Records.

From what I've read, the conceptual tone of the album is said to be "pitch-dark," and that the ease of its writing and recording process comes as a result of the band's renewed focus.

Call me biased, but The Roots are incapable of making an inferior album.

This record will slam.  Period.

John West is a newly signed Mercury/Island Def Jam recording artist.

Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, apparently West has been around for a minute, having cut his teeth on the Southern California street music scene, and he also released a couple of independent records back in 2007

"Lovely" featuring Pusha T (video below) is one of the cuts available on his newest 3-track EP, which you can get on iTunes.

Details on his major label full-length LP will be announced shortly.
