While we wait for the highly anticipated John Legend & The Roots Collab LP Wake Up! to drop next Tuesday, J.Period brings us a early gift.
“With John Legend & The Roots joining forces to propel political songs like Ernie Hines’ “Our Generation” back into mainstream popularity, it was only fitting for J.Period to reunite the group that first sampled Hines’ on their seminal ’92 single “Straighten It Out”—artists from an era when hip hop carried its own social message—Pete Rock & CL Smooth.”
The song comes from J.Periods mixtape in collab with The Roots titled Wake Up Radio, due late November. Pre-Order Wake Up! now, and check back here for updates on Wake Up Radio.
