The Roots – Rising Down (2008)
Rising Down is the eighth studio album by Philadelphia-based hip hop band The Roots, released on Def Jam on April 29, 2008. It is the band’s second album with the label, following 2006’s Game Theory. The album’s title presumably comes from William T. Vollmann’s 2004 book Rising Up and Rising Down: Some Thoughts on violence, freedom and urgent means.
