...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin is the fourteenth studio album by American hip hop band the Roots. The album was released on May 19, 2014, by Def Jam Recordings.[1]

According to Black Thought, "the album is conceptual like the previous one, but unlike Undun, ...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin features several characters in this story, not just one."[2] Black Thought described the album as a satirical look at violence in hip hop and American society overall.[3]
