Hmmm... he may be unfamiliar and lack stage presence to you, but he sounds like a solid bass player to me. Great videos!... one more reason I want to attend UCLA.

The Roots are the best band in hip hop, but who is the white dude on bass? They need to bring HUB back, he brought so much character to the stage.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Roots and Questlove is absolutely my hero but I gotta say I dont like how much faster they play all their songs live. Sometimes they play cuts like twice as fast! and it sounds really busy throughout Rising Up...again I love these guys they are my fav but they didnt used to play like this live.

featured artist.
SoL - AngeL
Solange
Solange steps out with a fresh, beautiful and delicious sound on her new CD, SoL-AngeL and the Hadley St. Dreams. The album (listen to it!) features a literal dream team of collaborations including Mark Ronson, Cee-Lo, Pharrell, The Neptunes and Lamont Doizier. Inspired by the 60's, Solange showcases a Motown influenced sound that has been given a "kick" courtesy of some London inspired Electronica. Highlight tracks include "I Decided," "Sandcastle Disco," and "God Given Name."
