PUBLIC ENEMY TO PERFORM IT TAKES A NATION... WITH THE ROOTS

Billboard reports that The Roots will
back up Public Enemy, performing It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back at a special one-off show in June. It's The Roots' annual "Roots Picnic" in Philly. TV On The Radio, The Black Keys and Santigold are also on the bill. The Roots will perform two sets that day on their own.

Last year, Public Enemy performed Nation at a few UK festivals, but it's cool that they're going to do it in the U.S. And backed by The Roots, that will bring the album to a new level. ?uestlove has talked about how that album made him want to be a hip-hop artist, I bet this will be a heavy experience for him.
