Defying the laws of gravity isn't always the aim of underground hip-hop artists, but for the legendary Roots crew, "between greenhouse gases and the earth spinnin' off its axis," it's time to embrace a new school of physics, one which proves that down is the new up. In support of Rising Down, the Roots' latest rebuttal to Sir Isaac Newton, the recalcitrant six-piece brings to Roseland Dance City the same game-changing show that rocked Woodstock '99 and Jay-Z's historic Fade to Black tour. Expect a night of live-band hip-hop and neo-soul jams dropped like they're. . . well, not.
