Okayplayer has always boasted that they have been bringing you the true notes since 1987. That slogan just got a little more literal with the impending release of “True Notes Vol.1.” The Roots and their family of okayplayers (Common, Talib Kweli, Dilated Peoples, D’Angelo, Erykah Badu to name a few), will now showcase some of the best up and coming talent hip-hop has to offer with this Okayplayer Presents album.
