Black Thought and J. Period have joined forces to provide James Brown’s music in a new way. The Live Mixtape: JB Edition features the 51-year-old rapping over remixes of music from the late funk artist.
The mixtape, shared on Monday (March 27) via the Brooklyn producer’s Bandcamp page, is a 35-minute display of The Roots member’s lyrical versatility. The project is broken up into 19 sections, with shorter efforts and songs clocking in at four minutes all over beats the Godfather Of Soul used throughout his career.
Songs like “The Boss,” “Big Payback,” and “Papa Don’t Take No Mess” made the cut for this fun collaboration.
