Hailed as a “music guru” by Rolling Stone and called "the most creative mixtape producer of all-time” by Questlove, J.PERIOD is a musical storyteller whose work connects cultures, eras, and styles.
J.PERIOD'S RESUME BOASTS COLLABORATIONS WITH GRAMMY® WINNERS THE ROOTS, NAS, MARY J. BLIGE, COMMON, MS. LAURYN HILL, Q-TIP, SPIKE LEE, COMEDIAN DAVE CHAPPELLE AND PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING PLAYWRIGHT LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA ON THE BILLBOARD #1 ALBUM, THE HAMILTON MIXTAPE.
These collaborations, combined with a visionary approach to musical storytelling, have earned J.PERIOD comparisons to both DJ Khaled and Ken Burns, and prestigious appointments at The Kennedy Center, Smithsonian NMAAHC, and Lincoln Center. “Make no mistake,” says DJ Booth, “as to the power of J.PERIOD’s impact and influence on hip-hop culture."
J.PERIOD’s debut album Story To Tell (Chapter One) broke new ground with its “musical storybook” format, narrated by comedian Dave Chappelle, with praise from Rolling Stone, Complex, and a featured performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
