Philadelphia Hip Hop outfit The Roots have recruited John Legend and My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James for their upcoming album, How I Got Over.
According to Billboard, the album will also feature a track that samples Joanna Newsom's "Book of Right-On," a track featured on her 2004 release The Milk-Eyed Mender.
Jim James is set to appear on a remake of Monsters of Folk's "Dear God."
How I Got Over was recorded during The Roots' tenure as the house band for "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," as well as working on albums for John Legend and Booker T.
