Common - The Believer (Feat. John Legend)

After blessing us with three cuts from his forthcoming album, The Dreamer The Believer, Common has now let loose this beautiful piece of Hip-Hop, which features fellow G.O.O.D. Music signee John Legend. Safe to say this album is going to be pretty special - you can get your copy on December 20th.

John Legend Live in Rehearsal

Mr. John Legend treating us to a few performances whilst rehearsing for his Summer tour with Sade. I've seen him live 3 times, and can safely say that he is one of the best out there. Incredible performer.

Rolling In The Deep

Now, I love Adele as much as anyone, but after hearing this it made me feel like the song was actually written for John Legend. I expected greatness when I saw he had covered Rolling In The Deep, but I never expected it to be this good. One of the best covers you will ever hear. I love John.

In The Ghetto (Wake Up)

First single off J. Period’s mixtape, Wake Up! Radio (available now), which sees Black, Rakim & JL revisit the classic Eric B & Rakim original. Thought is a lyrical genius. You can also check the sick new documentary about The Roots which dropped yesterday.

Your Smile

Following on from his critically acclaimed Humble EP’s, Drum & Bass producer Marcus Visionary has released the highly anticipated Humble LP, which really has blown me away. Featuring Goldstar, this track is simply one of the most incredible pieces of music I have ever heard. If more Drum & Bass/Jungle was like this then it would definitely be one of my favourite genres. The way he has used the John Legend sample is pure genius. Skank?

Gettin Nowhere

Got sent the remixes for Magnetic Man’s latest single last week, and was blown away by all 3. Breakage & Skream both smashed it, but this Soul mix by Yoruba is an amazing take on the track. I love John.

Our Generation (Feat. Pete Rock & CL Smooth) (J. Period Remix)

Can’t explain how good it is to see Pete Rock & CL working together again. This is fucking unreal. And yes, the fucking was necessary.

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. Back together on wax for the first time in 7 years, Pete & CL are in rare form on “Our Generation (J.Period Remix),” spitting conscious lyrics that remind us of hip hop’s potential to move not only our feet, but our spirit.
