With Wake Up!'s release exactly two weeks away, more material from John Legend & The Roots hit the web today. First up is their rendition of Baby Huey & The Babysitters "Hard Times" which we got an in-studio performance video of back in June. "Hard Times" is one of the album cuts that features a verse from Black Thought, so you know you want to check that. Also leaking today is the only original tune on the album, "Shine." You might remember this song was initially recorded for Davis Guggenheim's documentary, Waiting For Superman. The track is probably my favorite song on the album. Hear them both below. Tomorrow morning we'll be posting the official Wake Up! EPK and it's looking sharp, so check back for that. Wake Up! drops September 21st.

The Roots have made me wanna buy a John Legend album.
Love these songs! Wow, kinda old schooley and new schooley at the same time! Awesome stuff, y’all!
Seriously, someone do some shit about these spammers. I know it’d probably be a losing battle, but at least try and delete some of the bullshit comments about Prada bags and whatnot, OKP.
Kirk sounds dope on this, them some seriously short notes.
The Roots feat. Black Thought. Strange that is…
Definitly a must-have!

I thought it was wierd also saying John Legen featuring The Roots feat Black Thought
the legendary roots crew and the legend john legend…what more can we ask for?
Hard Times is pure dopeness. “Seventeen years of climbing up the rough side of the mountain/My friends warn me I have to go on without them/That’s fine, it was never about them.” Daaaamn. Thought’s verse really adds something special to what is already a soulful, energetic track. Loving the guitar.
“Hard Times”… God, there is still Great Minds in this world.Thanx God.
“Shine”… Just listen it.Pure Diamond.
