The legendary band The Roots will be releasing the long-delayed album “How I Got Over” on June 8 on Def Jam, according to a Twitter post from drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson.
The track list for the album has yet to be announced, but it is likely to include the high-energy, soul-tinged title track, which the Roots debuted last June on “Late Night” and often perform as the warm-up song before show tapings.
In other news, the Roots yesterday began recording a new album with Booker T. Jones of Booker T and the MGs. The project will be the follow-up to Jones’ Grammy-winning 2009 Anti- album “Potato Hole” and is expected to feature a handful of special guest vocalists.
As previously reported, tickets are on sale today for the third Roots Picnic, to be held June 5 at Philadelphia’s Festival Pier. The Roots will perform alongside Vampire Weekend, Clipse and a special, as-yet-unannounced reunion from a legendary hip-hop group.
