God bless Jimmy Fallon<\/strong> and The Roots<\/strong> for their good musical taste and support.\u00a0 Yes, there have been rare blunders, but the entourage’s overall good musical taste and acumen was borne out (again) last night when Big K.R.I.T.<\/strong><\/a> performed on The Tonight Show<\/strong>.\u00a0 Big K.R.I.T.,\u00a0<\/strong>backed by the great Raphael Saadiq<\/strong><\/a> and The Roots<\/strong>, performed the fantastic track Soul Food<\/strong><\/em> off of his critically-acclaimed 2014 album Cadillactica<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Check it out below with\u00a0K.R.I.T.<\/strong> teaching, Saadiq<\/strong> killin’ on bass and vocals, and The Roots<\/strong> propelling the whole thing along perfectly.\u00a0 Notice mid-song when the ensemble locks in and the group’s knowing smiles become irrepressible.\u00a0 Outstanding! \u00a0That’s the way to start the New Year!\u00a0 Check the performance below, followed by the song’s official video, and the worthy lyrics (lamenting diminished foundations) at bottom.<\/p>\n
