Scratch & Black Thought live on Bobbito’s show on 89.9 in 1999. Scratch just put out a new album and The Root’s debuted a new song last week titled How I Got Over but I have yet to hear either.

I consider this just a rumor for now.

The Roots will take a break from their non-stop touring schedule beginning next March. The band will be trading in its tour bus to join comedian Jimmy Fallon’s new late night talk show as his full-time house band.

Roots’ frontman ?uestlove broke the news during an interview at the group’s show in Chicago last week. A YouTube video with the announcement has since been pulled off the Internet.

Fallon’s show replaces Conan O’Brien’s “Late Night” on NBC next year, while Conan takes over for Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show.”
