The Roots
 
My taste in music consists mainly of classic rock, indie rock, alternative, and electronic, but I'm open to listening to some more hip hop/rap. I'm a fan of The Roots and was wondering if yall could recommend similar artists.

Was The Craft their last LP? I've been hearing rumors for years.

Yeah that was it, back in 2005. Rumors abound and Gab has released solo stuff, but no new album yet.
