Thieves By Tuesday*

How I Got Over, the 8th and most recent studio album from The Roots depicts a collaboration with a wide range of artists like John Legend, Joanna Newsom, My Morning Jacket vocalist Jim James and YES, Monsters of Folk. When you look at the eclectic selection of musician they work with, you are sure to get an A+ album with a unique and innovative funk and soul sound. These guys hail from Philadelphia, and its would be hard to be a hip-hop legends in Philly without being great pioneers in the music industry. I have the strongest feeling that by the end of the year, we'll be seeing this album, How I Got Over, dominating the Best of Albums of the Year lists. So before you get behind, grab yourselves a copy of the album. Stream and download their track, Right On featuring Joanna Newsom and STS and Dear God 2.0. And also, check out the video for Dear God 2.0
