The J.Period Live Mixtape is a first-of-its-kind concept: a mixtape performed live onstage starring legendary MC Black Thought (The Roots). The night showcases Black Thought ripping rhymes over new and classic hip hop hits, Roots fan favorites, and a finale segment where Thought pays tribute to his favorite MCs by impersonating them with his spot on on-stage impressions (as on The Roots’ “Boom”).

Imagine taking one of your favorite mixtapes from back in the day where the DJ selected a variety of classics back-to-back song-after-song, done live by J.Period and with Black Thought there to walk you thru. The chemistry between this DJ and this emcee is purely magic on stage giving all those in attendance a performance to remember.
The back-and-forth chemistry on stage is truly natural, leading to their decision to take the energetic show on the road, already wowing fans in New York, Toronto and San Francisco.
J.Period and Black Thought released a online download of the audio recording from their Toronto show, creating major buzz amongst fans worldwide, anxious for the act to come to their city. Event producers Footlong Development & Frolab are proud to bring this dynamic show to Los Angeles’ Echoplex on June 11th for what’s sure to be a classic night! www.jperiod.com/livemixtape
