The Roots — “undun” (Give to the Max 2024)

CrossFade: The Dueling Album Review Show

For this year’s Give to the Max Day, MinnMax supporters raised more than $65,000 for Emerge Mothers Academy, a nonprofit supporting Twin Cities single moms. Along with the great feeling of supporting a worthy cause with their charitable donation, Nikolai (TechBeatNik) also unlocked an episode of CrossFade about “undun,” the 2011 record by Philly R&B/hip-hop group The Roots!

It was a lot of fun coming back to CrossFade for such an interesting album and such a good cause. Remember, you make this happen!

We’d love it if you’d rate and review CrossFade on iTunes, ‘cause it means more people can find the show and love it, too! You can find Matt and Jason on Twitter at https://twitter.com/MattHelgeson and https://twitter.com/nintendufus respectively and in the #music channel of the MinnMax Discord server.

Our theme song is “The Lights” by Maps Of Norway from their 2008 record, “Die Off Songbird”: https://open.spotify.com/album/7tNrjnRB1f1oQizkkAePrI
