The Roots' breakthrough debut album of hip hop jazz established them as an emerging presence in the rap world (Do You Want More? boasted no samples, just a funky live band). Earlier this year, the South Philly group began the set up for their new album with the release of "Clones" (the single has already sold over 60,000 copies and is a Top 5 rap radio hit). Along with the next single/video, "Concerto of the Desperado," the album features guest appearances by Raphael Saadig (Tony! Toni! Tone!), Q-Top (A Tribe Called Quest) and D'Angelo.
