The roots have once again proven that they are true Mavericks when it comes to Hip Hop and being true to the art form. With the release of their eighth studio album from Def Jam the group has persevered and managed to bring to life another masterpiece. This album in my humble opinion is definitely one of the best albums of 2008 and put against their collective body of work this by far may be the best album that they have released to date.
The collaborations on the album are keen, the mixture of talents and the diversity of styles makes each track on the album one worth listening too. Black Thought is still one of the most under rated lyricist in the business today. While going through the tracks you will get a heavy dose of old school production and every now and then something that you wouldn't expect, but if you have ever listened to the Roots then you know ?uestlove is a genius in his own right.
If you haven't heard this album I strongly urge you to find a copy or a listening booth and give it a shot. I guarantee you will find your self lost in the music and wanting to get this album.
