THE J.PERIOD LIVE MIXTAPE – ILLADELPH EDITION

Damn. This live mix is dope! I got informed of this from one of the dope customers at my gas station (yes I also manage a gas station). Recently dropped on J.Period’s website this was taken off a live performance from Toronto’s The Manifesto music festival over the summer. With MC Black Thought conducting this seamless mix, you’d swear you were there too.
