Data Insight

The Roots is a self-released trap-revival EP that Marshmello, whose legal name is Christopher Comstock, produced through his Joytime Collective label in November 2024. Comstock wrote and produced the five solo tracks himself and co-wrote each collaboration: Forever with pluko, Fired Up with Hamdi, Lights On with FAANGS, Bad Boys with Lil Jon, Bailo and Ookay, and In The Cut with Viperactive. He is the common writer and producer across all ten tracks, so the EP reads as a heavily self-authored project, with guests adding topline vocals and co-production rather than replacing him as the writer.

The Roots is a 2024 EP on which Marshmello returns to the trap and dubstep sound that launched his career. Christopher Comstock produced the project, which pairs solo Marshmello cuts with collaborations featuring pluko, Hamdi, FAANGS, Trickstar, Lil Jon, and Viperactive across its ten tracks.
