Despite scattered talk of a new record, ?uestlove and his Roots keep on trucking behind last year's Game Theory. Not that we're complaining, especially since two of their next three dates are on the pretty sweet Rock the Bells tour.

After they wrap up those shows, the Roots will appear in East Troy, Wisconsin for two shows with...Dave Matthews Band. They will then try to wash that image out of our minds by leading the VH1-sponsored Hip Hop Honors Tour with Big Daddy Kane and MC Lyte shortly thereafter.

The Roots' next show is a non-Rock the Bells appearance in Salt Lake City tomorrow (August 10).
