PUBLISHED BY BANDINI - AUGUST 8, 2017
Late last month, The Roots and Bilal released “It Ain’t Fair.” The Detroit soundtrack single is jarring, as it applies to racial and social injustice in 1967, as well as in 2017. The song and its message are not going away. This partial Soulquarians reunion is bigger than just one film or a moment in time.
The Roots Release A Song To Humanize The Pain, Confusion & Sadness Many Feel (Audio)
Last night (August 7), The Roots, Bilal, and an extensive symphonic orchestra played “It Ain’t Fair” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. More than seven minutes long, the message and spirit were meant to be heard as these musical juggernauts put their souls and passion on display.
