The Roots – Birthday Girl f. Patrick Stump

20080310-roots.jpg

So I’m in the process of shutting down the PC and laptop when I get a random (yet inevitable) IM from my dude Mr. Ketchum with some even more random video. Which features clips of Fall Out Boy’s lead singer, Patrick Stump. Who cares right? Well as I’m watching the video I hear a familiar voice begin rhyming. Who? Well if you read the title of this post you know haha. Black Thought starts his verse and I realize “oh shit, this is their single”. I make a few more IM’s and BAM … the audio is in the inbox. So enjoy the lead single to The Roots upcoming LP, Rising Down.
