The Roots

Fantastic.   That’s the word that first came to mind after seeing The Roots new video for “Dear God 2.0”.   I’ve loved the song since I first heard it, and Jason Goldwatch turns in a video does the song tremendous justice.   Putting Black Thought behind the wheel of a New York City cab, the video adds life to his conversation with God and gives it extra meaning through the wide range of patrons that seem to share a sense of struggle, while the specifics differ.   The video is left open-ended as Thought is robbed at gun point after a long night of work, being forced to make his own choices.   Check out the video below, and pick up The Roots new LP, How I Got Over tomorrow.
