Superb US hip hop group The Roots have a new album entitled How I Got Over. Released only a few days ago this stands to be one of the premier hip hop releases this year.
The record sees a balanced mix of raw lyrical delivery with simple beats and up-tempo grooves reminiscent of 70’s funk and soul. An optimistic tone is more prevalent throughout the record compared to preceding releases Rising Down (2008) and Game Theory (2006, top album).
