Criminal (Ft. Saigon & Truck North) - The Roots

Yet another track off The Roots' Rising Down. Features Truck North and none other than The Yardfather, Mr. Saigiddy. I'm feeling this. Too bad there are HHDX drops.

Rising Down (Album Version) - The Roots

I was down at The Roots' blog and I found this. It's a little different from the one that was leaked like a month back. I'm not sure which one I like better. Whatever, they're both dope.

Rising Down (Album Version) - The Roots

In other Roots news though, I recently read somewhere that The Legendary Roots Crew is gonna release.. wait for it.. 9 videos for their upcoming LP Rising Down. Word is that they arent even gonna appear in over half of them.

The Roots’ collaborations with Rik don’t stop there, and not by a long shot. Over the weekend they agreed to shoot videos for songs “Criminal,” “Rising Up,” “Rising Down,” “Singing Man,” “I Can’t Help It,” “Unwritten,” and “I Will Not Apologize.” According to this plan, that basically leaves “The Show” (featuring Common and Truck North) and “Lost Desire” (featuring Malik B. and Talib Kweli) that won’t have videos. The first video to be shot will be “Rising Up” on April 14th. The Roots will not appear in all (or even most) of the videos.

Also, the Birthday Girl video should be dropping soon it's going to feature adult film star (porn star) Sacha Grey, it was directed by Rik Cordero, he's been on top of his hip hop video producing game lately. For most of you this might be a little old but whatever.

A still from the video:

The Roots are back with another one. I'm always excited when The Roots drop new shit. This song features a bunch of Philly natives like Peedi Crakk, DJ Jazzy Jeff and long time Roots collaborator Dice Raw. Shits dope.
