On Monday Brooklyn producer J.Period announced the release date for his debut album Story to Tell. The announcement came with an animated album trailer narrated by one of the album’s high-profile guests: Grammy-winning comedian Dave Chappelle. Watch the first trailer below.
The project will be split into three acts. The first chapter will arrive this Friday, April 30th. Expect appearances from Black Thought, Chappelle, Jemele Hill, Bobbito Garcia, and more.
“Story to Tell envisions a vibrant world of connections,” the trailer’s description reads. “Between artists, songs, stories, genres, cultures, and generations: a web of creative impulses that flows like a mixtape, and bangs like a blockbuster. It’s a new kind of musical storybook, and an eye-popping, ear-opening ride.”
