Earlier today my man Shamz let me know that we will be getting some new music from The Roots soon. Tonight — on Jimmy Fallon — they premiered the title track/lead single off their upcoming album, How I Got Over (October 20th). Look for the actual track to be released as early as next week!
Hip Hop, Video

Philadelphia soul is back, and I’m not talking about the arena football team. Dice Raw on the hook, love it. The Roots just showing another side of themselves, can’t wait for the studio version.

I just watched this. I see the Roots doing they James Brown shit. Too hot.

They the best! Man!

such a dope group
Best. live. act. period.
Leave it to The Roots to revive soul and bring hip hop back to….well…its roots lol :D I couldnt help it, but that’s the truth and I support them 100%
I fox with this!
Riq Geez is STILL my favorite MC, as the Roots are still my favorite band.
KILLED IT!
I like it but it doesn’t have that same Roots feel to it. Maybe it’s just me.. ah well. Still dope.
Amazing, when i saw them perform the other week, their whole steez hinted at this flavour. Cant wait for this album!
yessir…mad the album got pushed back, but loving what i’m hearing

Song is dope, beat is fly, “singing” is wack on this version…
Not feeling it at all at this early stage. I love soul, but this sounds like that same ol’ same ol’ lazy chord progression, rhythm guitar and meandering vocals.
Knowing the Roots, it’s probably influenced by this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU-herUo23I
it isnt their lead single
the lead single is “I Walk Alone” and features Truck North, PORN and Dice Raw…they shot a video for it at the beginning of the month
Super Dope! As long as The Roots stay together Hip Hop ain’t going nowhere. Hopefully this will give them the exposure they deserve. The Roots deserve their diamond plaque (no sellout).
