Watch Questlove Mix a New Song Featuring Erykah Badu From The Roots Upcoming Album

The Roots have been saying that they have a new project on the way soon, End Game, and now Questlove has increased anticipation for the project by sharing a video of him mixing the project's lead song, "Misunderstood" featuring Erykah Badu and Tierra Whack.

At the end of the video, he shares insider info about J Dilla, explaining how back in the day the late super-producer would put beats on his answering machine, prompting everyone to call to hear his latest creation.

Quest talked about the upcoming interview with HipHopDX, admitting it was delayed due to his work on the Oscar-winning film Summer of Soul, which he directed.

"We've been working on this album for six years and it's 60 percent done," he said. "The fact that it still sounds good after six years of starting and stopping, that's how timeless it is and a return to form."
