Things Fall Apart
Album Summary
Things Fall Apart is the fourth studio album by American hip hop band the Roots, released on February 23, 1999, by MCA Records. Recording sessions for the album took place at Electric Lady during 1997 to 1998, coinciding with recording for other projects of the Soulquarians collective, including D'Angelo's Brown Sugar (1995), Erykah Badu's Baduizm (1997), and Common's One Day It'll All Make Sense (1997).
