Late final week, the Roots debuted a brand new music that includes Erykah Badu and Tierra Whack referred to as \u201cMisunderstood.\u201d The music was premiered on New York\u2019s Hot 97, whose Funk Flex challenged the Roots to launch new music. \u201cI challenged The Roots last week, and they delivered big time,\u201d Flex stated on air earlier than introducing \u201cMisunderstood,\u201d which was produced by Questlove and Jorun Bombay. \u201cThe knock on this is crazy \u2026 This is so mean.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharing the second on social media, Questlove captioned: \u201cI been waiting my whole life to bomb a song. This is my Xmas @funkflex @hot97 thank you! @theRoots \u2018Misunderstood\u2019 feat @tierrawhack @erykahbadu. Produced by @jorunbombay I promise we will rap up #ENDgame (our 17th lp) PRONTO!\u201d<\/p>\n
This comes a few years after Black Thought instructed us about<\/a> the Roots\u2019 in-the-works album End Game<\/em>, remarking on the way it\u2019ll be their first LP with out longtime supervisor and producer Richard Nichols, who died in 2014. <\/p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s something to be said about this being our first Roots project that we\u2019re going to put out without [Richard Nichols] at the helm,\u201d Black Thought instructed us in 2020. \u201cIt\u2019s a new beginning, in that way. Has the subject matter changed? No. Are we releasing a party album? No. But I feel like the songs we\u2019re selecting from, I think it\u2019s a return to something, sonically, that feels familiar. The songs that we have for End Game<\/em> feel Roots-y, if that makes any sense. And the features we have thus far. It\u2019s what you would expect. I\u2019m not going to spoil any of the guest appearances, but it\u2019s who you would expect. But the material is timely, and timeless.\u201d<\/p>\nHear \u201cMisunderstood\u201d under.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
