This ambitious concept album tells the story of the short, tragic life of a fictional character named Redford Stephens in reverse chronological order. The Roots employ a somber, chamber-pop influenced sound, blending live instrumentation with Black Thought's grim storytelling. It is a poignant meditation on poverty, crime, and determinism.
