The Roots has changing the game with their concept album undun, which tells the story of fictional character Redford Stephens.  Along with the album, there have been a series of visuals that turn the album into a soundtrack of sorts.  There is also a free un(dun) iPhone app that serves as a comparison piece to the album.  Check out one of the app's feaures below, an account of Redford Stephens's life through the eyes of his aunt, and make sure you go get the album if you haven't already!
