It’s time for another album from America’s most lovable hip-hop group The Roots. You know, the superstar band who became the house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, a move so crazy that Fallon himself still doesn’t seem to believe that they were able to get THE ROOTS as their HOUSE BAND. Nuts. But I must say that I kind of like the show, with its intimate live show setting for its musical guests and the fact that its house band is The Roots!
The group is releasing their new How I Got Over on June 22, but we’ve already been given our first taste in “Dear God 2.0″. Just as their classic “The Seed 2.0″ from Phrenology was a remake of the Cody Chesnutt track “The Seed”, they’ve remade “Dear God”, the Monsters of Folk track memorably sang by Jim James. The track can be yours for free right over here if you so chose to accept it. Here’s the tracklisting for the album that was sent to us. And as you can see, the special guests abound per usual. I’m probably most excited to hear the Dirty Projectors track, because I enjoy the voices of those gals.
