B. Cox reviews The Roots' third studio album, 1996's Illadelph Halflife. After a respectable success and notoriety from their sophomore offering Do You Want More?!!!???!, the hip-hop band and outfit from Philadelphia found themselves moving a little bit away from their live instrumentation 100 percent output and experimented with samples and drum programming. The sound of a more traditional hip-hop album helped to popularize the group with an hardcore hip-hop audience and the emergence of Black Thought and Malik B as A Level emcess let the industry know that the "jazz guys" could stick with anyone in the game. They were assisted by a wide variety of guests; from rappers Common, Q-Tip and Bahamdia and frequent collaborator Dice Raw as well as singers such as Raphael Saadiq, D'Angelo, Cassandra Wilson and instrumentalists like jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman and former Roots crew member Scott Storch.

Illadelph comes alive! Man...this one is a dope one for real. We got fellow hip hop head, live music attendee and birthday boy(at the time of taping) George Gordon (@IG: georgepgordoniii) rock rockin it with us. The album of choice? None other than The Roots "The Roots Come Alive." We take a different route on this one y'all. Live music is such an amazing slice of life and we dissect all of it along with the break down of this album. Such fun! Get it!
The legendary Roots crew! That's right...we are goin back in time like we normally do to Philly for The Roots "Illadelph Halflife." Such an amazing album. Malik B does his thing and Black Thought proves again why he is one of the illest to ever bless the mic. We of course can't forget the beats and production either. So get down and get ready for another smokin dope one. Always do what we do!
