If you don’t know The Roots, get your shit together and check this out. They’re about to reissue their second album, ‘Do You Want More?!!!??!’ and you need to get onboard.

The original album came out in 1995. And this deluxe re-issue will put on all the stuff you want to hear; lots of unreleased stuff, remixes, and alternate versions of songs (damn, that’s pretty cool), including the above “Street Mix” version of ‘Silent Treatment’.

This is a nice throwback to the mid-90s with an iconic band. And getting to hear some unreleased music and alternate versions? Sign. Me. Up.

The Roots rule.

Word is there’s FIVE remixes of ‘Silent Treatment’ (with a couple done by the band’s own Questlove and Black Thought).

The reissue deluxe edition of ‘Do You Want More?!!!??!’ will be released on March 12th and you’ll be able to pick it up digitally and in three-LP and four-LP formats. All versions include a 24-page booklet about the original record.
