J Period and K'NAAN collaborate to form The Messengers mixtape. The Messengers is a project dedicated to three different music legends: Fela Kuti, Nigeria’s eminent musical activist; Bob Marley, Jamaica’s emissary of struggle and unity; and Bob Dylan, America’s reluctant Civil Rights song leader.
Weaving afro-beat, reggae, ska, folk music and rock into this genre-bending musical experience, The Messengers stretches the boundaries of hip hop—and the mixtape genre itself. Remixing the classic work of Fela, Marley and Dylan, The Messengers captures the timelessness of their sounds and the continued urgency of their messages.
J.Period & K’NAAN will pay tribute to each of “The Messengers” individually with a new release every Tuesday in September:
Fela Kuti (September 1)
Bob Marley (September 8 )
Bob Dylan (September 15)
The Messengers in its entirety (including additional bonus tracks and artwork) on September 22.
