In the wake of Tupac birthday commemorations across the world of Hip-Hop, J. Period remixes a ‘Pac classic, “Dear Mama.” Take a listen. And if the music sounds familiar to you, good ear! Nas used it on “The Message” from 1996’s “It Was Written.”

The remixed track herald’s the “Holler If Ya Hear Me” (Remixed) project – due out June 24, 2014 – and the Kenny Leon-directed Broadway musical “Holler If Ya Hear Me” (starring Saul Williams). You can purchase tickets for the musical at hollerifyahearme.com.

Common feat. J. Period – “The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.)”

gal-alicia-keys-12-jpgCommon links ups with DJ & producer J.Period for this new joint called “The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.)” that will appear on J.Period’s upcoming project “Rage Is Back” due February 12th. Common delivers with the lyricism as usual & I’m diggin’ J.Period’s use of Portishead’s classic ‘Sour Times’ record.  It’s should be of no coincidence what J. Period is doing here as Common’s original classic “I Used To Love H.E.R.” also dropped in the same year of 1994 as the Portishead hit.  It all makes for a nice & almost subtle multi-musical metaphor for what they put together.  We still love H.E.R. too…
