After A year of the usual epicness for The Roots & John Legend alike, including 5 Grammy noms for their critically acclaimed LP Wake Up! they are releasing Wake Up! Radio in anticipation for this weekends Grammy awards. The tape features Common, Q-Tip, Nneka, & more. Hit the jump for the tracklist and download.

“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.” – Jperiod.com
