The Best of the Roots

Releasing on the 20th May, J.Period's Best of the Roots is a one-of-a-kind collector's CD packed with over 50 tracks of 'Roots' classics, rarities and J.Period remixes.

The album features six exclusive new Black Thought freestyles and original tracks! Guest appearances from Jay-Z, Rakim, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Big Pun, Stevie Wonder, Kardinal Offishall and more! National composite street press (tbc)

Also known as Illadelph's finest, The Roots are unmistakably one of hip-hop's most underrated acts of all time. Not to say they haven't had their fair share of shine, because you won't hear them complaining.

Already earning his props with vintage mixes of artists such as Nas, Kool G Rap and recent projects with G.O.O.D. Music & CL Smooth, J. Period is commissioned to do the official promo job for The Roots' upcoming album Game Theory.

Hosted and narrated by the incredible Black Thought, this mixtape spans more than 50 Roots classics, exclusives, freestyles and rarities,
