Their second album, "Do You Want More!!!!," was released in 1995 and featured collaborations with artists such as Q-Tip and Bahamadia. The album helped establish The Roots as a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop world.
In 1999, The Roots released "Things Fall Apart," which is widely considered to be their breakthrough album. The album features the hit single "You Got Me," which earned the group a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The album also includes collaborations with Erykah Badu and Mos Def.
The Roots continued to release critically acclaimed albums throughout the 2000s, including "Phrenology" and "Game Theory." In 2011, the group released "Undun," a concept album that tells the story of a fictional character named Redford Stephens. The album was praised for its ambitious concept and innovative storytelling.
In addition to their own albums, The Roots have collaborated with a wide range of artists, including John Legend, Jill Scott, and Elvis Costello. They also served as the house band for "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" from 2014 to 2021, further solidifying their place in popular culture. With over three decades of music and numerous accolades under their belt, The Roots remain one of the most influential and respected hip-hop groups of all time..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking The Roots to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like The Roots in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking The Roots or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
The Roots's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking The Roots for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book The Roots, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing The Roots. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate The Roots booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book The Roots for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final The Roots booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will The Roots charge for an event. An example fee to book The Roots is in the starting range of $150,000-$299,000. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the The Roots agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The The Roots manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book The Roots for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the The Roots agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book The Roots, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the The Roots booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for The Roots, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
