The Roots Prep New Album, Add Guitarist To Line Up
 

Hip-Hop band The Roots are preparing to release their next album and have added a new group member to the Philadelphia based band.

The group is considering naming their latest effort The Tipping Point, also the name of a book by author Malcolm Gladwell.

Amir "?uestlove" Thompson said that the group chose the title because the group is still seeking to take their careers to the next level.

The group has started to record a new album which is intended to be released next year and has added guitarist Kirk Douglas to the lineup.

In the meantime, ?uestlove has lent his producing magic to Rage Against The Machine's former frontman Zach de la Rocha's untitled debut solo album.
