The Roots new album announced.

According to XXLMag.com, The Roots have finally announced a release date for their ninth studio album entitled How I Got Over. The Roots’ Black Thought revealed to XXL that the band is aiming for a June release date. “The new record is well underway—right now, it’s about completed,” Black Thought explained. “It’s a more celebratory album—the story of triumph and the rise of the brand that is ‘The Roots,’ and how we kept our heads above water consistently for so many years in the game without taking a hiatus, maintaining some love and relevancy for all this time.”Aside from serving as the house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Roots have also been performing at New York’s Highline Ballroom on their off days as part of The Roots’ Jam Session.
Hooray for June

The Roots' Bus crashes in Paris

The Roots survived a double-decker tour bust crash Wednesday (Nov. 19) night while driving though Paris.
Just hours ago, Roots member ?uestlove revealed to Okayplayer.com that the bus, complete with full lounge and bathroom on the first level, was flipped upside-down.
The news came just days after the group announced a temporary retirement from touring.

?uestlove emailed Okayplayer, which he helped co-found, the details of the crash, which he wrote an hour after the crash.
"In reality the crash was all of about 7 seconds," wrote ?uestlove. "...but to do a 360 on the highway and end up ramped up (the van that crashed into ours was UNDER our double decker bus) in the air....is....well...a frigging miracle."
"My first thought was not move a fucking inch," he continued in the e-mail. "I always had fear that we would fall off a cliff while in high mountain traveling like Denver or Switzerland. I couldn't tell where gravity began and ended."
The group was en route to a stop on the Glow in the Dark Tour in Paris, which ?questlove wrote would "be a miracle" if they made.
To conclude the e-mail, The Roots' drummer wrote: "Til then just wanna let everyone know that we are happy to be alive. and not in that tv cliche way
