up 124: how i got over [2010]

''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''. - amazon.com
