THROWBACK: The Roots – Break You Off (Feat. D’Angelo) (Original Version)

illadelph

For new mixtape compilation illadelph/matic, Okayplayer and Mick Boogie delve deep into the archives of both The Roots and Nas. The set features 36 prime outtakes and rarities, including appearances from Slick Rick, Roy Ayers & Cee-Lo Green. Our favorite from the mix, which you can sample below, is the original version of The Roots hit “Break You Off” which featured an in-his-prime D’Angelo on the hook (Musiq Soulchild appeared on the final mix).
