Get up with a Legend
Getting two top notch talents to collabs on a project is not easy. But when it happens, we are all in for a great project. Sitting here still listening to Nas and Damien Marley’s project together, Distant Relatives, it makes me want more artist to join as one to give the fans something special.
One of my favorite rap groups The Roots, has joined up with a multi-talented singer in John Legend to present to the world, Wake Up!
There are so many endless possibles to this project. I’m happy to see these two super talents push aside their ego’s and produced a cd together. From the early reviews, this has the makings of a classic disc.
September 21st is the date to remember. The Roots and John Legend are giving the world an early Christmas present.

Nice review Jones. I was aware of the few tracks they had together but had no idea about the colabo album. Tried to listen to #5 but it’s saying the file doesn’t exist.
