Four digital pigment prints, each 11 x 17 in. A COLLECTION OF FOUR UNSEEN IMAGES TAKEN BY MPOZI TOLBERT, THE BRILLIANT PHOTOGRAPHER WHO DOCUMENTED THE RISE OF HIP HOP SUPERGROUP THE ROOTS Tolbert, who worked as a photographer for the Indianapolis Star, took the first recorded photos ever of The Roots (when they were still known as The Square Roots), and continued to photograph them as they shot to fame, bringing him into the heart of the Hip Hop world. He passed away at the young age of 34 in 2006, from an unknown heart condition. He always knew how to capture the true heart of his subject, and even in his short time, left an indelible mark on Hip Hop culture. This collection includes a print of one of the very first recorded photos of The Roots, during a jam session in Philadelphia in 1993.

[Questlove] 60'S ERA 5-PIECE DRUM KIT AS USED LIVE AND IN STUDIO BY AHMIR "QUESTLOVE" THOMPSON 5-piece Premier UK drum set: 1 snare, 2 rack toms, 1 floor tom, 1 kick drum, 1 high hat stand, 2 cymbals WITH: Vintage photograph of Questlove sitting at the kit, shaking hands with D’Angelo. THE DRUMKIT PLAYED BY QUESTLOVE ON THE EARLY ROOTS ALBUMS Growing up in musical household in Philly, Questlove began drumming from early childhood and by his teens was dissecting backing beats from his parents' voluminous record collection. His deep knowledge of Funk, Soul, Rock and R&B drum styles allowed The Roots to forgo the use of sampled drum tracks that other Hip Hip artists often relied on as Questlove could provide an iconic drum track at will. The present kit was played on early (94-99) Roots albums - Illadelph Halflife, Do You Want More ?!!!??! and Things Fall Apart. PROVENANCE: From the personal collection of producer and Grammy Nominated engineer David Ivory Studio owner/engineer/producer David Ivory
