The Roots' latest album, How I Got Over, drops tomorrow and per usual, they came super correct. You might recall the first single video I posted back in February in honor of the anticipated classic albums of 2010. Having gotten my hands on a pre-release version, let me assure you The Roots do not disappoint. Below are two of my favorite tracks off the album, The Fire and Walk Alone.
UPDATE: since those vids got pulled for copywrite, check the new video for Dear God, 2.0.
Thankfully you never have to walk alone if you have the right tune running through your headphones. Music is therapy and The Roots are next level analysts. While I have no intention of thanking Drake for anything, the Roots I will definitely thank now.

You know, sometimes the crazier the world gets, the more I need loud music. Like maybe if the beat is hard enough I won't think about how insane 2010 has been so far.
Last week Kanye dropped his new single, Power, off his upcoming album Good Ass Job, that is reminiscent of the Jesus Walks militaristic gospel type beat that first brought Kanye into the game as an artist. Then we also have General Patton from Big Boi, off his July anticipated album, Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, that also has that church choir meets marching band style.
Perhaps I'm not the only one in need of a loud, consistent base line this year. When the going gets tough, guess we all gotta find a way to reload, whether through religion or repetitive rhythm.
