The Roots - Rising Down
Posted: April 25, 2008, 12:15 pm
Downloaded this last night and have listened to the first half of the album, and scanned through the second half. It's a great album (no surprise there) and if you are a fan of them at all I would get it - it comes out in stores tuesday but there is a very well seeded torrent on demonoid (I dl'd it in about 2 minutes).
It is a little rougher than their previous stuff, and they do have a good handful of guest appearances which is abnormal for them. The guest appearances include Talib Kweli (on 2 tracks), Mos Def, Common and Styles P amongst others.
Overall so far one of the better albums I've listened to in a while... This summer is actually looking pretty good for Rap though, for the first time in a few years.
