The Roots Rising Down T-Shirt

Description

The Roots Rising Down t-shirt is for the ones who felt the weight of every bar on one of hip-hop’s most uncompromising albums.

When The Roots dropped Rising Down in 2008, they weren’t making party music. Black Thought and Questlove channeled frustration, disillusionment, and raw social commentary into a record that hit like a gut punch. Featuring Mos Def, Wale, Saigon, and Malik B, the album tackled police brutality, political corruption, and the erosion of truth with the kind of intensity only The Roots could deliver. It was dark, deliberate, and absolutely necessary.

This shirt honors the album that proved The Roots were never content to play it safe. From the haunting title track to the relentless energy of “Get Busy” and “75 Bars,” Rising Down is a masterclass in conscious hip-hop that refuses to compromise. Wearing this is a statement about the music that actually said something.
