The Roots, known for their innovative album concepts, return after a two year break to release their new album, Game Theory filled with fourteen hard hitting tracks that express their views on the state of the world. Game Theory is The Roots’ most thought-provoking, incisive album since their 1999 breakthrough ‘Things Fall Apart’ and will be the group’s debut for Def Jam Recordings, home to the world’s premiere Hip-Hop artists. The band addresses everything from their uneasiness about society on, It Don’t Feel Right to troops at war on False Media and government monitoring on New World. All tracks are wrapped around hard hitting beats and murky grooves deploying samples from Sly Stone, the Ohio Players and the Jackson 5 among others.
