Rik Cordero is one of the best music directors of my era. Salute! I’m looking forward to what he does next.

The Roots LP, How I Got Over, is in stores now. Video directed by Rik Cordero.

“The Fire” chronicles a post-apocalyptic death march set in 1945 during the final stages of World War II in Europe. After a cataclysmic event renders the war futile, a paramilitary splinter group — led by a Kurtz-like figure known as The Commodore — forces the transfer of young men who will be used as labor…and food. The last survivor of the march receives a mysterious White Box which holds the key to survival. – Rik
