The latest album from legendary hip hop group, The Roots, dropped on August 29th via Island Def Jam. The album features 13 tracks from Illdaelphia's finest including a tribute to the late great producer J Dilla. The album is a Roots classic, with ?uestlove delievering on every track with blazing drums, and Black Thought playing Batman yet again, saving the rap game. The guest spots include Malik B. and Peedi Peedi, the latter of which is now in talks to become the newest member of the roots. Heres my review of ever track

1. Dillatasitc Volume Won (Deful) (Intro) - Its an intro but leads into the next track very well. 5/5

2. False Media - A clear political shot at the media. Black Thought's rhymes are creative but sound forced. 3/5

3. Game Theory - One of the best tracks on the album. A thirty second intro leads into a lyrical barrage from Black Thought. A must listen for any upcoming MC. 5/5

4. Don't Feel Right - Another great cut. Malik B. delivers a great guest spot and Black Thought drops lines that are literally life changing. 5/5

5. In The Music - The track feels eerie at first, but after a few listens you get used to the pace and the "singing" by artist Porn(yes his name is Porn). Malik B. delivers another great guest spot. 4/5

6. Take it There - A filler track. Nothing very impressive about it. 2/5

7. Baby - Another unimpressive, forced filler track. 2/5

8. Here I Come - A great rebound after two lukewarm tracks. Fast paced and almost violent, the track is Public Enemy esk. 5/5

9. Long Time - The best track on the album. Peedi Peedi delievers the greatest guest spot of the new decade. Black Thought proves himself to be among the elite MC's on this track. 6/5

10. Livin In A New World - A weird track, only 1:47 long. One verse no chours, has an intro like feel to it. 3/5

11. Clock With No Hands - The title of the track sets it off. A great, grimy, lyrical track. 5/5

12. Atonement - A reflective track, almost touching. 4/5

13. Cant Stop This - The J. Dilla tribute. One of the greatest tracks of all time. The track brought tears to my eyes. You can feel Black Thoughts pain through his bars, and you feel for him. A classic. 6/5

The album is very solid, Grammy worthy. Overall 4.6/5
