So the Roots have a new album out, called How I Got Over.  The single off the album (by the same name) is a great track.  That bodes pretty well for the album as a whole (and you can check it out below).

The tracklist lists some solid acts, and a lot of recurring appearances by Dice Raw.  Raw is an artist I always thought was a steady member of the Roots Crew, but it seems like I was wrong.  Joanna Newsom may be the least likely guest star on this album, but she’s a pretty talented musician herself, so I have a feeling her skills won’t be put to waste. 

You can stream a lot of the songs off the album on the The Roots’ MySpace page, so go check it out!
