In 2002, The Roots released; Phrenology, which featured their second hit single to reach the HOT100; Break You Off.
This track really gave them the increased international recognition they deserved, the band itself has been around for a very long time now, and being highly respected in the industry for their raw truth and unique sound, this track really created the equilibrium between the commercial world and their world.
The video features acting from Hassan Johnson, better known as “Roland Wee-Bey Brice” from the US hit series; The Wire. So for anyone that loves The Wire or Wee-Bey don’t miss out on this old visual!
