J. Period has made some of the best, most conceptual, and musically-moving mixtapes of the last 15 years. That gift has led the New York City-based California native to work up close and personal with Black Thought, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Nas, Q-Tip, and others.

Having now earned a #1 album thanks to the Hamilton Mixtape (Nas, The Roots, Busta Rhymes, Common), J. Period returns to tapes. After last year’s OutKast Re:Fixed remix project, J. Period stays in the canon of André 3000 and Big Boi. This time, the mixmaster applies the music from one of the best groups (in any genre) to a land inspired by Black Panther. Even before pressing play on this standout, sincere mix WakandaForeverEver is a concept that invites the Panther to the Dungeon of possibility for an epic audio journey.

According to J, “[This mix] takes listeners on an exclusive journey into the secret forests between Wakanda and Stankonia, sampling the Black Panther score and soundtrack to create exclusive new Outkast remixes that explore the roots of Hip-Hop in the African drum, themes of empowerment and identity, and the musical intersections between the Afro-futuristic world of Black Panther and intergalactic Funk of OutKast.”
