Tariq Trotter, a.k.a. Black Thought, sits firmly within the pantheon of hip-hop’s greatest MCs. But the cofounder of the multiplatinum-selling hip-hop band The Roots is best understood not through all trophies and awards, but the sheer weight of his lyrical force.

In 7 Years, Trotter’s new addition to Audible’s Words + Music series, the prolific rapper examines his life and career in dynamic seven-year increments. Featuring a powerful and personal musical score, Trotter takes listeners through his intimate journey, including his tumultuous childhood in Philadelphia, facing off with a justice system that was stacked against him, and adapting to commercial success in mainstream America. Mixing complex rhymes with searing insight, 7 Years finds a singular creative voice opening up and speaking volumes.

It was a genuine pleasure to spend the last 4-5 hrs. in Mr. Trotter’s head as he generously ruminated on his life and his art, and sketched in some of the when, what, and why of the life he has lived, SO FAR. Expecting him to use his talent and his voice for decades to come.

This is such a fantastic listen. It's art, storytelling, poetry wrapped in one. It felt like cooked food (if you know you know). This was such a beautiful experience. Trotter is simply brilliant. Give this man a Master Class please!

I'm a big fan of Tariq's so listening to him tell his story was a gift. Really gives insight to growing up in Philly, becoming an artist and still having to overcome barriers and systems that must change. The music woven throughout is wonderful. Thank you!

If you love Tariq and the Roots, you'll love this!
