The Roots Reveal Free “How I Got Over” Album Sampler (Listen)

Now this is how it's done. Instead of letting their highly anticipated new album "How I Got Over" leak - and giving us a few choice selections like "Dear God 2.0" and "The Fire" - the legendary Roots crew have officially unveiled a sampler plate of the entire album. Sure it's not the same as having the entire album for free download, but it's more than enough to whet our collective appetites when the real deal drops on June 22.

Seriously? How hard is it to keep an album from leaking. You'd think someone like Drake/Eminem/etc. would be able to install some protocols to make sure that didn't happen. How do major artists keep f-ing up something that important. Oh well, the point is "How I Got Over" sampler is below. Enjoy. And I'm going to have to hold off on any verdicts about the album until I have a chance to listen to the full thing.
