Leonard “Hub” Hubbard was the bassist for the acclaimed hip-hop band the Roots from 1992 to 2007.Hubbard joined the Roots in the band’s early days, when they were still called the Square Roots and hadn’t yet released their first album.
He had a background in jazz and classical music, having studied at Philadelphia’s Settlement Music School and at Carnegie Mellon University.
