Title: Rising Down
Label: Def Jam
Genre: Hip-Hop
Format: CD

Rising Down marks the 10th album released by the legendary Roots crew. The darkly funny, politically charged release is the product of more than a year of recording and includes a slew of complimentary guest apperances by Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Styles P, Wale, Saigon, and more. For those that are asking, "well, what does it sound like?", think Game Theory and Illadelph/Halflife as probably the closest cousings in The Roots catalog.
