R.O.O.T.S. (which stands for Route Of Overcoming The Struggle) is the second studio album by American rapper, Flo Rida. It was released on March 31, 2009.
In an interview with Billboard Magazine, Flo Rida stated the inspiration for the album comes from his success and knowing that it wasn’t an overnight thing. "It also takes inspiration to turn an album, so I had to really get everything together." Flo Rida has also stated that the album cover was done this way because he admittedly has an 'addiction to being shirtless' and he wanted to show his body, and show his addiction to the world.
