Undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford's internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out 'on the corner'. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented--postmortem--and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.

Although I LOVE Black Thought....why do we need a Black Thought solo album? Is he not better over the live instrumentation that he's lived with for almost 2 decades? Do we really need to hear Black Thought over random beats?

i'd rather he'd stay wit the roots. black thought without the roots is like a peanut butter sandwich wit no jelly.
