The Roots have been blessing NYC with incredible jam sessions at their weekly residency at Highline Ballroom.  These have been some of the best shows I’ve seen them do in their career (and this is coming from someone who’s seen them countless times).   At their most recent jam session, the 8th one of the residency thus far, tons of guests held them down including Pharoahe Monch, Skillz, Amanda Diva, Tiye Phoenix, Emilio Rojas and many more.  The evening was capped off by Dead Prez joining the foray with a rousing rendition of “Hip-Hop”, backed of course by The Legendary.  Keep in mind that all performances at The Jam are not rehearsed and played on the fly, on the spot… which just goes to show you how sharp The Roots are that they can jump into anything at any time.
