The Roots - How I Got Over

The Roots latest CD, How I Got Over, is incredible!! It is thee inspirational soundtrack to free thinkers| artists| entrepreneurs| purveyors of life. How I Got Over is mature, refined and superbly executed. From the beautiful melodic intro, that instantly puts you in a Ramp-style trance, each song on the album builds upon the previous with dope beats, introspective lyrics and memorable choruses. How I Got Over talks about faith, the grind, the state of the world, universal law, self discovery, fulfillment, achieving success & finding happiness. For lovers of great music, How I Got Over is a must for your collection. My favorite How I Got Over quote: “I'm an ICON when I let my LIGHT SHINE!” ~ The Fire. What's yours?
