The Roots Unveil ‘…and then you shoot your cousin’ Artwork & Release Date

The Roots have unveiled the artwork for their upcoming new album …and then you shoot your cousin, which will arrive on May 20. Black Thought has told XXL that the piece will follow a similar conceptual approach like their 2011 offering undun.

“It’s another concept album in the spirit of undun. but it’s not just about just one kind of character, we create quite a few different characters in this record. It’s satire, but in that satire it’s an analysis of some of the stereotypes perpetuated in not only the hip-hop community, but in the community. I don’t know if that makes any sense.”

You can listen to the first single “When the People Cheer” and head on over to The Roots’ e-store for pre-order bundles.
