The story

Roots films Asia's underground rappers in one-take sessions. Every artist performs in the same room, on the same floor.

One mic hangs over a floor covered in plants. Colored gels light the room. The camera rolls until the take lands. Then the artist sits for an interview and the crew cuts a promo.

The sessions are the start. Next come memberships that put every drop in front of members first, live shows with the roster, and series about how the music gets made.
