Back in July, ?uestlove announced on Twitter that a new album was in recording with the initials &TYSYC. Since then, very little has been said *as far as I'm aware* with regards to this album…

Over the past two years, The Roots have released two critically acclaimed albums in the late months of the year… I'm hoping that 2012 will be no different…

Anybody heard anything since?

    Props Lou, it's a bit disappointing that it's gone cold on that front… hopefully they'll spring it on us like last year!

    They are the 'hip hop Gods' to me... Nobody, not even Kendrick Lamar, has had the heat they've had in the past two years, it's incredible considering how long they've been around.

    Maaaaan ..


    Every The Roots album from now on is being copped without even reading a review or ? like that


    Undun solidified their iconic status for me as a great musical force and that tribute they did for J. Dilla on Game Theory was ill


    Heavily anticipating their next joint
