• Artist: Protoman
• Track: Roots
• Producer: Budo
• Album: Beat a Dead Horse Till She Resurrects

Introduced to the Booth with March 2010's Movie Star, Protoman makes his triumphant return to our pages with a freshly-minted single off his forthcoming full-length. Here, frequent Grieves collaborator Budo handles production duties, blending gritty percussion and organ riffs with (aptly enough) 8-bit synths as the South Floridian emcee promises to stay true to his Roots. Like what you're hearing? There's plenty more freshness in store on Protoman's Beat a Dead Horse Till She Resurrects LP, which will hit fw4s.com for download in October.
