Don't believe the hype! There's no truth to the "The Roots' are retiring" rumor. Although they do now have a new day job,
they certainly haven't hung up their touring hats for good... in fact,
they are booking more and more tour dates as I type this. For a glance
at the sched for April '09, see after the jump for a full listing of upcoming tour dates. NYC, be on the lookout for 2 fresh events, The Roots Present The Jam, a regular jam session at the Highline Ballroom (you know how we do!) and DJ ?uestlove's party "the fANtastic" each Thursday at Le Poisson Rouge (starting 3/26). Deets on tix are below as well.
You saw the mock video, and you've probably heard this song playing in the background of their recent interview clips. Well today Reflection Eternal released the full length mastered version of this very song, entitled "Back Again." Sounds like Hi-Tek and Talib Kweli
still have that winning formula. Take a listen, and I'm sure you'll
agree they picked the right name for this one. Still waiting on a title
and a release date for the new RE LP, but expect it to drop this year.
