Tariq Trotter—better known as Black Thought—is the platinum-selling, Grammy-winning co-founder of The Roots, and one of the most exhilaratingly skillful and profound rappers the culture has ever produced.
In his book, The Upcycled Self, set for release on November 14th, Trotter doesn’t just narrate a riveting and moving portrait of the artist as a young man, but gives readers a courageous model of what it means to live an examined life. In vivid vignettes, he tells the dramatic stories of the four powerful relationships that shaped him—community, friends, art, and family—each a complex weave of love, discovery, trauma, and loss.
His book tour begins on Nov 11th in Philadelphia, and he will go on to make stops in Washington, DC; New York; LA and San Francisco. A virtual event is also on the schedule.
