The Roots

The Legendary Roots Crew would like to give a big thank you to Builder by Engineer.ai for helping us build and power a check-in platform for our annual Roots Jam Sessions during Grammy Week. We’re definitely looking forward to working together again because this is the future for building software!

QLS The 9 Nerds In A Room (pt 1) edition of @QLS featuring @AngelaNissel (Scrubs/The Last OG/The Jellies/The Boondocks/& prolly the sole reason why I’m a thing on social media); #BashirSalahuddin (A Simple Favor/Glow//Snatched/Late Night With Jimmy Fallon); @Diallo Ridde (The Last OG/Marlon/Silicon Valley/Sherman’s Showcase) & @itsTraceyAshley (The Neighborhood/The Last Comic Standing/The Last OG) This is pretty much a necessary episode for anyone who has dreams of being a writer in Hollywood. We speak it all: when you are coming, when you are going, being the only (name it) in the room, communication w co-workers, dealing with rejection, keeping your dream alive, cultural insensitivity, learning, comedy, & tv history.

#Repost Mel D. Cole . . . RIP to Highline Ballroom . My favorite concert venue in NYC and the place where I honed my skills. The place where The Roots did weekly jam sessions in 2009 and @questlove begged me to be their photographer! So, it was only right that my boys...The Legendary Roots crew closed out the venue with one last amazing sold out concert! The first image is from the closing night 2.4.19.
