The Roots 'How I Got Over' Features Dirty Projectors, Joanna Newsom, Blu, Monsters of Folk

The Roots and their upcoming How I Got Over LP continue to make headlines as of late. First, we learned that Jim James and Joanna Newsom, the latter as both a sample and a featured vocalist, would be appearing on the Philly hip-hop crew's record. And thenHow I Got Over received what's being pushed as a firm release date of June 22 -- I have a hard time believing this -- along with album art. There's also that covers project between The Roots and John Legend scheduled to drop this fall.

Now, the track list for How I Got Over has been released and it boasts big names from the hip-hop underground and indie-rock sphere. And, I hate to continue to be skeptical, but this doesn't look finished to me at all. Only nine tracks? I mean, I can understand it if a few of these cuts are longer, especially the reworked version of Monster of Folks' "Dear God." But I'm thinking this isn't complete and that it's at least missing a few of those interludes featuring Dirty Projectors that Questlove has been tweeting about recently.

May 21 update: OkayPlayer, the site The Roots call home, has an updated track list. But it's not the final version because all the interludes will be separate tracks (told ya!).

1. "Walk Alone" f. Truck North, P.O.R.N., Dice Raw, Mercedes Martinez
2. "Dear God 2.0" f. Jim James, Monsters of Folk
