R.O.O.T.S. (an acronym for “Route of Overcoming the Struggle”) is the second studio album by American rapper Flo Rida. It was released on March 31, 2009.
American rapper Flo Rida became a global success with his debut album ‘Mail On Sunday‘ in 2008. The follow-up, ‘R.O.O.T.S’, has already produced a download record breaking single in ‘Right Round‘, for the most sales in one week. He also held the previous record, with ‘Low’. This time around Flo Rida provides more of an insight into his life, the mood of the music varying to mirror his experiences, making for a well-rounded collection of songs.
As on the previous collection, ‘R.O.O.T.S.’ sees Flo Rida joining forces with an extraordinary array of A-list collaborators, featuring artists like Nelly Furtado, Ne-Yo, and Pleasure P, and including production from Jim Jonson, Dr. Luke, Eric Hudson, Mike Caren, and DJ Montay, who produced ‘Low.’
Flo Rida has said that “there’s definitely something for everybody on this album” in an interview with Billboard, and this is undoubtedly true.
The single ‘Right Round’ is good enough to encourage buying this album but frankly the entire album is good. Much more personal than ‘Mail on Sunday’, many tracks seem to speak more directly to his early days/life.
