When it was announced that the Roots would be Jimmy Fallon's house band when he took over for Conan O'Brien, fans of the legendary Philadelphia crew were worried that would mean the band was over as a recording entity. Drummer ?uestlove put that talk to rest quickly after, however, Twittering that the band was working on their 11th album, titled How I Got Over. There's no word on what style the band will strive for, like whether or not they'll return to the acoustic jazz of their earlier albums or the synthy blasts of their previous albums, Game Theory and Rising Down.

man i've been digging the roots since Do You Want More ??!?!?! and had to go cop Organix to be down from the start. I've bought every single album since. I hope they stay right where they are...not too blown up, so they never have to worry about music media tearing them down. they are the true meaning of the word longevity. |

been down since Organix and i cop every album when they are released... the only hiccup was the tipping point which was kind of generic for the Roots Crew, but it did have its moments... sad to see this one pushed back until december... i was hoping to have it by now |

Thank you Corey for saying that. Illadelph Halflife was easily one of the most slept on albums in rap history. Why people never realized that is still a mystery to this day... |
