The Roots: 'Tip The Scale'

How I Got Over was one of the great hip hop albums of last year. It ran about 40-minutes in length and its straightforward rhymes made it painless for the lyrically challenged like myself to understand. I like that. The Roots breezed through fourteen tracks of light jazz and soul vibes and returned to their day jobs as Fallon's house band. They probably should have won the Grammy.

Now, Philly's finest return with their new album Undun pencilled in for a Dec. 6 release. Wasn't sure we'd see anything new from these guys in 2011, but they've just released a vid for the album's 9th track - 'Tip The Scale'. Better yet, they will continue to upload one new video at exactly 12.06pm every Tuesday until Undun drops. Cool, dawg.
