Here’s a video of J. Period & Black Thought performing live on September 26th at the Manifesto Festival in Toronto. The mixtape features Black Thought performing some Roots tracks, rhyming over some classic Dead Prez, Pharoahe Monch & Biggie classics & even doing some insane emcee impersonation. Listen to the live mixtape on the widget below & click here to download the whole thing.  Big up to Hypetrak for putting this up!

This brand new mixtape from J.Period blends MJ classics, rare demo versions, remixes, and behind-the-scenes interview clips. This 80 minute mix, in association with Spike Lee & 40 Acres, is a fantastic tribute to the king of pop in celebration of the 2nd Annual ‘Brooklyn loves MJ’ event which was held yesterday.

Here’s part 2 of Dj Semtex’s 10 Minute Madness. You can also listen to/download part 1 on the widget below.

My good friend Dj Khalil is kindly offering his newest mixtape out for free.

For those of you that copped his exclusive Hip Hop Connection Mixtape for THTC will know this one is worth a download, however don’t expect straight Hip Hop… this mixtape blends “something a little different”, expect beats, electronic, house, garage, touch of dubstep… nice.

A selection of truely superb underground Hip Hop productions from 2000-present day, that aims to “shed some light on the fairly quiet revolution that has been taking place under the surface of mainstream media in recent years” as 2Tall puts it. He continues, “This is a journey from late 90s crate digging, to the circuit-bent soundscapes of the so called ‘post-dilla’ era”.
