Tomorrow (April 29, 2008) Rising Down starring The Roots will hit stores. I am really excited about this CD not only because of The Roots but because it has a lot of my favorite artist featuring on the album. We got Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Styles P, and Chrisette Michele! Yeah this album should be crazy, so make sure you check it out.
History Lesson
The album cover was inspired by Norman E. Jennette. This picture was originally a cartoon illustrated and published in the Raleigh News And Observer. The drawing was called Negro Rule. It portrayed how the Confederate Union felt about freed slaves. They believed that if freed blacks obtained power it would only lead to complete chaos for the entire country. It doesn't surprise me that The Roots would be the one group that have some type of meaning to their album cover!
Peace
