The Roots are currently working on a new album titled End Game, which will be their first since 2014’s …And Then You Shoot Your Cousin and the passing of their longtime manager Rich Nichols. Black Thought recently revealed to XXL that 9th Wonder and Salaam Remi are producing on the project, along with Karriem Riggins and Stro Elliot.
“Last October we had a writers’ retreat at Electric Lady Studios in New York City for about a week or so and within that time we got about a good deal of the groundwork of what’s to come for the record, End Game,” Black Thought says. “I’ve been working, writing and recording on it since then.”
“I think what people do nowadays is to catch people off guard and take the industry by storm. I think our campaign will be unlike that new sort of wave. We will announce it when it’s done and it will going to come out when it comes out. We’re not under any constraints of this is the date where the album must be completed and submitted. That’s not us anymore. We’re free agents now, we’re our own brand, our own label. When the joints are done, we’re just going to put it out.”
