“On February 14th, the soundtrack to the film Soundtrack to a Revolution will be released. It features contemporary artists singing traditional Civil Rights-era freedom songs. The Roots perform “Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around” in this clip, which juxtaposes black-and-white footage of 20th-century Civil Rights protests with color footage of the band performing in a recording studio.”

The homie Mick Boogie & Okayplayer recently dropped this dope mixtape of Nas & Roots rarities, remixes and slept on joints.
For any fans in town for the Super Bowl: Mick will be performing this evening with Nas & The Roots for the Madden Bowl in Indianapolis.
From Mick:
The Roots and Nas are two of my favorite performers ever… and have such an amazing catalog of gems the average fan never heard. This was a great opportunity to put something together for the people to enjoy!
Throw this one on before or after the G-Men smack up the Pats on Sunday!
