Ahmir Khalib Thompson, a.k.a Questlove from the Roots, will recount his experience in the music industry and his take on aspects of pop culture in a memoir expected to be released summer 2013 titled Mo' Meta Blues: The World According to Questlove, according to Rolling Stones.

The Roots drummer announced Wednesday that in his new book he will discuss growing up in Philadelphia during the 1970s, as well as his dealings and friendships with other musicians and celebrities in the recording studio and as a bandleader on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Among others he will talk about his time spent with Stevie Wonder, KISS and Jay-Z, according to The Associated Press.

A press release for the memoir, cited by the magazine, stated fans should expect "musings about the state of hip hop, the state of music criticism, the state of statements," as well as Questlove's thoughts about "pivotal moments in black music and pop culture."

Mo' Meta Blues: The World According to Questlove will be released on June 18 through Grand Central Publishing. The Roots are the house band for the NBC Fallon show and already released 12 albums together. Thompson, 42, has four Grammy Awards and has been a producer for Jay-Z, D'Angelo, John Legend and Erykah Badu.

Thompson returned to teaching at New York University and his course is titled Topics in Recorded Music: Classic Albums. The course runs close to three hours and students in his most recent class learned about Michael Jackson's Off the Wall, the project that emerged just as the pop singer turned 21 and decided to leave his family band for a solo career.

Thompson purchased an iPod Nano for every student before the first day of class and filled it with an "extensive history of music," the report stated. The students keep their iPods when they finish the seven-week course.
