The Roots are back in action. The Philadelphia hip-hop crew have a new album, Rising Down, due on April 29. The album, which is being touted as the band's most political to date, takes its name from William T. Vollman's 7 volume treatise on violence, Rising Up and Rising Down. It seems that ?uestlove has been doing some reading. Here are two videos, for "Get Busy" and "75 Bars (Black's Reconstruction)."
