The Roots: Hennessy Grooving with Richard Nichols

NOWNESS together with Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin recently followed Black Thought and Questlove of The Roots on a trip to Cognac, France. While the original intent of the trip was for Broomberg and Chanarin to document Black Thought and Questlove as they were guests at a Hennessy party, a short but impactful conversation with The Roots’ long-serving manager Richard Nichols was recorded the day after the party. Nichols presented an interesting take on what Soul music of the past and now Hip-Hop has impacted culture and it’s intersection through other cultures.
