The Roots @ Mission Ballroom

After the major holiday travel fiasco ending 2022 (which resulted in The Roots original date being cancelled), The Roots finally made it to Denver. They played a show recently at Mission Ballroom on February 24, 2023 – also bringing along Big K.R.I.T. We had our amazing photographer, Aidan Hicks, there to take some rad pictures to give you an idea of what The Roots & Big K.R.I.T.’s live show is like. ENJOY!


The Roots

One of the most prolific rap groups, the Roots were also among the most progressive acts in contemporary music, from their 1993 debut through their conceptual 2010s releases. Despite the seemingly archaic practice of functioning as a rap band with several instrumentalists, they were ceaselessly creative. They went platinum and gold with successive studio releases and won a handful of Grammy Awards. After they gained a nightly nationwide audience through a close partnership with television host Jimmy Fallon, they continued to challenge listeners with works free of genre restrictions.

Big K.R.I.T.

Big K.R.I.T. has always been lead by music’s power to transform and change anyone it touches. The Meridian, Mississippi native grew up listening to classic records in his grandmother’s house. Today the music he puts out is a great blend of those soulful musicians, as well as hip hop legends like 8Balll & MJG, UGK, Scarface, and Outkast. He singlehandedly and masterfully resurrects the rich heritage of southern hip hop during its prime in the 90’s.
