The Root’s next album How I Got Over was supposed to come out late last year but has been pushed back to this year. I’m not sure if there’s a solid date yet. In any case, here’s a little taste of what’s to come and it’s sounding lovely to me.

It features Chrisette Michele and most-hyped-MC of the moment, Wale.
