Organix (The Roots album)
1993 studio album by the Roots
Organix is the debut studio album of American hip hop band the Roots , released on May 19, 1993, by the band, independently. It was originally sold at the band's shows in Europe. The album earned enough industry buzz to earn the Roots offers from major record labels, after which they signed with DGC Records , which at the time was better known for its grunge music releases. Organix was re-released in 1998 on Cargo Records.[7]
