The legendary Roots crew will be honored on South Street in their hometown of Philadelphia, with a mural set to be completed in July of 2012.

Located next to a place where Black Thought and ?uestlove learned their skills, the mural will be recreated by a yet to be named artist.

The Mural Arts website is leaving the opportunity open to the public and is accepting ideas and suggestions from everyone.

While the formal announcement will be be made later this month, The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program plans to include multimedia elements such as video, online interaction, on-site activation, with a curriculum for the youth arts component called “Roots 101.”

The Roots are currently anticipating the release of their new album “undun,” a re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999).
