Black Thought Previews The Roots' New Music, HBO Show at Bud Light SXSW Jam Session
After successfully launching the Bud Light x The Roots & Friends Jam Session at SXSW last year, the legendary hip-hop band returned to Austin, Tex. for their 2017 iteration with even more confidence and more special and surprise guests.
While there was no telling how the night would go—which included a special performance of "Johnny B. Goode" to tribute Chuck Berry who died just hours before the session began—Roots co-founder and singer-rapper Black Thought talked to Fuse about the key elements to a perfect jam, what projects are ahead for the Tonight Show band, and much more.
