To call it "long-awaited" or "eagerly anticipated" would be the understatement of the year - as hip-hop's most daring pioneers the Roots release their 9th studio album (and third for Def Jam Recordings) on June 22nd, HOW I GOT OVER. The album, which takes its name from Clara Ward's gospel classic (made popular by Mahalia Jackson), is the Roots' first new release since joining Late Night with Jimmy Fallon for a full time gig as the show's house band.
Grammy Award winners the Roots characterize the songs on HOW I GOT OVER as "depicting the everyman's search for hope in this dispiriting post-hope zeitgeist".
The lead single from the Roots new set will be "Dear God 2.0." The track re-imagines the Monsters Of Folk song "Dear God" and features MOF members Yim Yames from My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes and M. Ward.
HOW I GOT OVER also includes two appearances from Grammy-winning soul man John Legend: "Doin' It Again" a re-working of his track "Again," and "The Fire," an original song written for the Roots' 2010 Olympic concert performance.
The Roots and Legend have developed a strong musical bond, as the group has produced John's entire upcoming release Wake Up, which shares the socially conscious themes of the "How I Got Over" set and is comprised of late sixties/early seventies covers.
Other guests on HIGO include Joanna Newsom on "Right On," Phonte Coleman (Little Brother, The Foreign Exchange), Blu (Blu & Exile), Peedi Peedi , Mercedes Martinez, Icelandic alt-pop singer Patty Crash, newcomer Sugar Tongue Slim as well as long time Roots' Crew members Dice Raw, Truck North and P.O.R.N.
For almost two decades now Vinnie Paz has easily been the most recognizable and galvanizing figure in Hip Hop's underground. His work with Jedi Mind Tricks and Army Of The Pharaohs has been hailed as revolutionary and violently conscious. And his presence is unmatched. Paz's greatest strength lies in his diversity; he is as equally at ease writing brutal, grimy raps as he is constructing poignant, insightfully personal verses and and it is that ability, combined with a deep, metaphysical inttelect and the sickest deliveries, that keeps Vin at the forefront of innovation. 20 years have not been enough to mellow the Pazmanian Devil; there is still enough injustice, sickness and social unrest in the world to fuel Vinnie.
Now, with the debut of Vinnie's first-ever solo project, Season Of The Assassin, the world gets a chance to view the MC in a different realm. Season Of The Assassin is Paz's chance to step outside his usual JMT/AOTP mold. Not only is Vinnie in true lyrical form on Season Of The Assassin, he is also teamed up with superb talent. Beanie Sigel, Clipse, Freeway, Paul Wall, Ill Bill, R.A. The Rugged Man, Sick Jacken (Psycho Realm), Block McCloud and more show up on Season Of The Assassin. Production was held in the palms of some legendary hands: DJ Muggs (Cypress Hill/Soul Assassins), Madlib, Lord Finesse (D.I.T.C), Da Beatminerz, Lil' Fame (M.O.P), Moss, 4th Disciple (Wu-Tang), Bronze Nazareth (Wu-Tang), JMT's own DJ Kwestion, Shuko and more lend their talents to Paz's monumental new album.
