Inverse “So Far” review @ Okayplayer
28 05 2008Almost five full months since we dropped the free download link for So Far (The Collection) and it’s still getting love. We’re proud to say we just received a damn good review from Okayplayer - click here to check it out. I remember when they used to rate on a scale of five ?uestlove afros…what happened to that? Anyways, leave a comment on the review, send the link around, tell a friend, you know the drill. Remember the name.

The Roots - “Rising Up” (live @ UCLA Jazz Fest)
27 05 2008Here’s The Roots performing their latest single this past Sunday at UCLA. No Nigerians or Chrisette for this performance, but we actually saw Ms. Michelle perform a few hours later at the House of Blues (along with Solange and Raheem DeVaughn) so it was all good. Black Thought is a fuckin beast yo.

Goapele & Immortal Technique @ UCLA Jazz/Reggae Festival (videos)
27 05 2008The annual UCLA Jazz/Reggae Festival was held over the weekend and we were lucky enough to check out the first day of the two-day event, starring Goapele, Immortal Technique and The Roots. It was sunny and the crowd was hella chill, so the vibe was on point and all of the performers delivered. Goapele’s a goddess, by the way. Anyways, here are some clips from Goapele and Technique’s performances:
Goapele - “Closer” (live @ UCLA):
Goapele - “A Change Is Gonna Come”/”Find A Way” (live @ UCLA)
Goapele - “First Love” (live @ UCLA):
Immortal Technique - “The 3rd World” (live @ UCLA):
Immortal Technique - “Harlem Streets” (live @ UCLA):
We actually filmed the entire Roots set for OKPtv and got a DOPE ass interview with ?uestlove. We’ll see that footage in a couple of weeks over at Okayplayer. Also, Black Thought got mad at Greg for sitting on his coat. Hilarious. Overall, a very dope concert and a Sunday afternoon well spent.
