Evil Dee Daytime Session

On Friday February 7 2014 as Dj Premier was in Detroit performing at Dilla Day, I was filling in for Premier on his Sirius/Xm radio show "Live From Headqcourterz". Being that it was what would have been J-Dilla's 40th birthday I did an all Dilla set in my second hour honoring the late great Producer/MC/DJ. 
James "Jay-Dee", "J-Dilla" Yancey died in 2006 at the young age of 32 from cardiac arrest after a long battle with a rare blood disease.... 

He was one of the music industry's most influential and respected hip-hop artists.

DJ JAZZY JEFF - The Vibe I'm On (1998)

James Brown remixado por Benji B e J Rocc

I've never listened to as much music on my headphones as I have the last two and half years since my daughter was born.  In fact, I've become quite the headphone connoisseur, purchasing five different pairs of headphones in the last year.  I've got monitoring headphones, deejaying headphones, walking around the house headphones; I even have a pair of headphones that fit me just right for when I'm laying on the couch just listening to music.  That's pretty much what I do.  When done doing honey-do's and daddy-do's, I put on my headphones, listen to music, and search for inspiration for my next mix.  The problem I had for months was the actual "mixing" part of the equation.  I kept wasting my precious free time napping instead of mixing.  Enter: coffee.  The key ingredient to the equation is coffee because those wonderful brown beans have kept me awake and mixing.  The Beats serve as the inspiration.  The Headphones allow for hearing the inspiration while Lil Mixes sleeps.  And the Coffee keeps me awake enough to create.  


Beats, Headphones, & Coffee

grab someone and vibe...

LYRICS : 

imma always believe and imma always keep the faith
but with that being said...

its a wild wild world
its a wild world

i just hope you realize
the love that i gave you
i stopped when i saw you
you stopped when i saved you
i just hope you realize
i only broke down
for you to add it up
take a shot ash the blunt
no i cant change up your home plate
thats why a curveball will set you straight
no i cant change up your home plate
thats why a curveball might set you straight
thats me

its a wild wild world
its a wild world
its a wild wild world
its a wild world

we drink like theres a message waiting for us at the bottom
we fantasize all night just to wake up with some problems
that never disappeared we never really solved them
try to bury them beneath the liquor weed and fucking often
the liquor weed and fucking often
the liquor weed and fucking often

its a wild wild world
its a wild world
its a wild wild world
its a wild world

Liquor Weed & Fucking Often (Prod. Russ)

just get to the point with a boss...

LYRICS :

Its 2 A.M. and you feel like callin
I know what you want by the tone that you talkin
Just get to the point with a boss
I gotta couple shots in me yea I'm gone
Imma make you feel like we just robbed a bank
Imma make you forget that you gotta get up in the A.M.

Imma one of one, thats why you came thru
Cuz you dont want me fuckin with someone who aint you
Imma blow up and see what this fame do
If you fuck up imma bounce like a kangaroo
But I play it cool slide thru for the hot one
You need drugs you need advice yea I got some
This is far from the end and far from the beginning
This is somewhere in the middle 
Hit my phone when you slippin

Its 2 A.M. and you feel like callin
I know what you want by the tone that you talkin
Just get to the point with a boss
I gotta couple shots in me yea I'm gone
Imma make you feel like we just robbed a bank
Imma make you forget that you gotta get up in the A.M.

Pretty Puerto Rican
Snappin at the mouth
Liquor love and anger makes your accent come out
Better calm the fuck down with your attitude
Cuz I can change your longitude and your fuckin latitude 
Put you on a plane to a place you never been
I could have you out in Asia lookin fly spendin Yen
Better back the fuck up with that rah rah hooblah 
Breath in breath out 
Wooosahhhhh

Its 2 A.M. and you feel like callin
I know what you want by the tone that you talkin
Just get to the point with a boss
I gotta couple shots in me yea I'm gone
Imma make you feel like we just robbed a bank
Imma make you forget that you gotta get up in the A.M.


2 A.M. (Prod. Russ)

babygirl youre lookin like the....

LYRICS : 

Baby let your hair down

Youre feelin like a smooth ride
Bottle of gin makes the mood right
Babygirl youre looking like the 
Moonlight in Atlanta
Youre feelin like a smooth ride
Bottle of gin makes the mood right
Babygirl youre looking like the 
Moonlight in Atlanta

Ok im rollin round the city
Hopin that the cops dont get me
Got this boricua on my right hand side
I tell her that i love her
Even though i really dont mean it
Im sorry that i do you so cold sometimes
She said "i know you get lonely too"
I looked at her and said "then you know what to do"
I tell her bring the freak out
Shes a step ahead shes on her knees now
Howlin at the moon till the sun comes up
And now im gettin lost in time
I aint really got much on my mind
Other than i knew it when i first saw you

Youre feelin like a smooth ride
Bottle of gin makes the mood right
Babygirl youre looking like the 
Moonlight in Atlanta
Youre feelin like a smooth ride
Bottle of gin makes the mood right
Babygirl youre looking like the 
Moonlight in Atlanta

Baby let your hair down

Kaytranada Spring Mixtape for Bromance

Hailed as a “music guru” by Rolling Stone and cited among the “world’s Top DJ’s” by The New York Times, J.PERIOD is a master of his craft: a musical storyteller whose work bridges cultures, generations and styles.

As a DJ & Producer, J.PERIOD's resume boasts collaborations with GRAMMY® winners Nas, Kanye West, Common, John Legend, The Roots, Q-Tip, Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige and Pulitzer Prize-winning Playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda on the Billboard #1 album, The Hamilton Mixtape.

His extensive roster of collaborators, combined with a visionary approach to musical storytelling, have earned comparisons to both DJ Khaled and Ken Burns and most recently, a prestigious post as a founding member of The Kennedy Center's Hip Hop Culture Council. “Make no mistake,” says DJ Booth, “as to the power of J.PERIOD’s impact and influence on hip hop culture.”  Music icon Questlove (The Roots, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon) calls J.PERIOD “the most creative mixtape producer of all-time.”

J.PERIOD’s work has also been featured in film and TV (American Gangster, NBA Inside Stuff, The Doctor), earning an EMMY®.  His groundbreaking work as Music Supervisor for the Brooklyn Nets’ debut Barclays Center was lauded as “the new standard” for music in the NBA arena.
