The Roots Launch Okayplayer Records

30Jan04

Roots drummer Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson will executive-produce the label’s inaugural release, a compilation featuring the Roots, Skillz, Jean Grae, Madlib, Aceyalone, Little Brother and Dilated Peoples. The album will also include two unsigned acts; Okayplayer Records is accepting submissions until Feb. 13, with details available through the Web site. The album is slated for release this summer.

That’s interesting.. I thought that OkayPlayer was a label already, but apparently not. The Roots appear to be working on a new album as well. I love The Roots.
