J.Period teamed up with author New York Times best-selling author Adam Mansbach (Go The F*** To Sleep) to create the mixtape companion to Mansbach’s latest boo k, Rage Is Back (purchase on iBookstore here). We’ve teased you over the last few weeks with the mixtape’s contributions from Black Thought and Common, but today Okayplayer exclusively drops the whole bomb on you, featuring more exclusive cuts from Talib Kweli, The Kid Daytona, Blu, Homeboy Sandman and Shad as well as unreleased J.Period remixes of Nas, Q-Tip, The Notorious B.I.G. and more!
Check back tomorrow for the download of #RageIsBack (the mixtape) and keep an eye on OKP over the next few weeks as we dole out some loosies from the mix! In the meantime watch for our review of Rage Is Back (the “great American graffiti novel”) to go up shortly, officially launching Okayplayer’s brand new books column Read A Book! (…you literate son of a b**ch).
