The Roots had a long day in NYC yesterday which started with rehearsals for their performance on David Letterman, followed by the actual throw-down which even had Dave jumping out of his seat.

Seems like a good time catch up with the other sites and post the latest song to make the rounds off Rising Down. Dedicated to Sean Bell, The Roots - “Criminal” ft. Truck North and Saigon. Rising Down in stores this Tuesday. We hope the true criminals, who killed Sean Bell, are brought to justice.
Smashin guitars and everything last night The Roots (or some derivation there-of) performed on The Colbert Report which has been broadcasting live all week from Philadelphia. Watch the videos where they perform the opening theme song as well as their version of the “SPB”. Yesterday it was falsely promoted as the first ever musical performance (we weren’t counting John Legend’s two appearances since both involved Colbert making them more sketch like) but last night definitely saw some firsts for the show.
