The Roots Get Political On Rising Down


Standout tracks include: "Criminal" a reflection of life on the streets and unjust persecution, "I Will Not Apologize" a tribute to Fela Kuti that discusses keeping dignity in the music biz and "I Can't Help It" a look at addictions and urges that compel us all. The pop-infused first single- "Birthday Girl"- features Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump. Additional guests on the album include Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Saigon, Dice Raw, Wale, Chrisette Michele and more (see track listing below).

Director Rik Cordero recently shot a video for the track "75 Bars (Black's Reconstruction)" in New York City. The hard-hitting track, recorded in one take, features Black Thought rapping 75 bars straight. Check out the video here: http://videos.onsmash.com/v/qttzjQ74zTJtWZ4P

A video for "Get Busy" was also shot by Cordero and finds The Roots taking over an office space. The song revisits golden-era, East Coast hip-hop with the return of the boom-bap and synths to add the modern edge. The video can be streamed here: http://videos.onsmash.com/v/b6lVAXc7ldjfdHNt .
