The Roots Title Track 'Rising Down' Hits the Internet

While Roots fans patiently await the release of the hip-hop band's 10th album, websites continue to create buzz around leaked songs, including the title track 'Rising Down,' which features Styles P, Mos Def and Dice Raw.

The track differs greatly from the previously released, airy 'Birthday Girl,' featuring Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz. 'Rising Down' is an amalgamation of politically charged lyrics touching on racism, "greenhouse gases" and materialistic ideals.

The Philadelphia-based crew is scheduled to release 'Rising Down' on April 29.

Listen to 'Rising Down (Hum Drum).'
