About this album
How I Got Over is a sharp, soulful late-career statement from The Roots, balancing conscious rap, live-band precision and reflective social commentary. Released in 2010, the album finds the Philadelphia group folding gospel-tinged melodies, tight grooves and smart lyricism into a set that feels both searching and assured. Songs such as Dear God 2.0, Walk Alone and The Fire helped define its reputation for mixing political awareness with emotional depth and musical subtlety. Arriving at a point when The Roots were also building their profile as a standout live band, the record confirmed their status as one of hip-hop’s most musically adventurous and dependable acts.
