The Roots drop a double greatest hits album “Home Grown! The Beginner’s Guide To Understanding The Roots Volume One And Two” on November 15th.

With guestappearances by Eve, Common, Beanie Sigel, Jaguar Wright, Jill Scott, Raphael Saadiq, Roy Ayers, Dice Raw, D’Angelo, Mos Def and others, this will surely be some massive introduction to newcomers, and pure pleasure to those familiar with The Roots.
