You may recognize him by his big afro and afro pick or as the drummer for The Roots and  lead band director on Jimmy Fallon’s late night talk show. Whichever the case, he’s adding one more title to his name…author.

 

‘Mo Meta Blues: The World According to Questlove” is Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s first book. The book is a memoir that will detail his life and share thoughts on black music and pop culture. Depsite spending most of his time on music, teaching at NYU, and running a catering business, he’s found time to pen down this book.

 

According to the NY Daily News, it is a memoir that…

 

“…as you might expect from the pop culture-obsessed drummer, is full of riffs on different subjects. Thompson promises to hold forth on “some of the lates, the greats, the fakes and the true originals of the music world,” according to the press release, which we spotted through The Hollywood Reporter. But he’ll also hold forth on black history and the state of musical criticism, blending his tales of working with Jay-Z and Elvis Costello with meditations on their place in pop history.”

 

 

Via Grand Central Publishing, the book will be released on June 18th.

 

 

 

Sounds very interesting…definitely one to read.
