This is the official cover for The Roots crew's new LP titled Rising Down.

Here is how group drummer ?love explained the artwork:

"This drawing is entitled NEGRO RULE. and it pretty much sums up the feeling of the Confederate Union towards the newly freed slaves and the idea that if given power they would reek havoc and chaos on the country."
