Prologue: Inner City Blues feat. Marvin Gaye

Dillanor Rigby feat. Blu & Porn

Strange Fruit feat. Common & Nina Simone

J. Period, John Legend & The Roots combine forces for this official remix album released to celebrate the 5 Grammy nominations for WAKE UP! Features including Common, Q-Tip, Rakim, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, K’NAAN  and Blu; original unreleased John Legend & The Roots tracks and samples from the best Soul voiceboxes in history give this 32 track FREE remixtape braggin’ rights. The J. Period WAKE UP! expansion pack yo!

Hosted by The Roots’ own Black Thought, WAKE UP! RADIO pays tribute to the legacy of soul music that paved the way for WAKE UP! and imagines a world where mainstream radio transmits music with a message. Employing an all-star cast of musical contemporaries (including John Legend & The Roots themselves), J.Period dissects, remixes and rebuilds the original recording sessions from the WAKE UP! album in an unprecedented manner, defying the conventional wisdom of what a “mixtape” can be—producing a full-fledged remix album in the process. The result is a treasure trove of powerful new music, produced and remixed exclusively by J.Period for WAKE UP! RADIO.
