For the final mix in the series, we needed to find the perfect DJ for a “Relax and Concentrate” mix. There was only one name that came to mind: Monk-One. An expert in the art of chill and concentration, he has put in many hours on tranquil beaches and plush couches in preparation for this mix, which will be guaranteed to sway listeners into a gentle state of bliss. Perfect for putting your feet up or a state of concentration.

FROM THE SOUL (BEAT 23)

Premiering on Billboard.com this week (http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/1537534/common-j-period-the-next-chapter-still-love-her) and celebrating the release of NY Times best-selling author Adam Mansbach's novel, Rage Is Back, J.PERIOD joins forces with hip hop icon COMMON for the exclusive new single, "The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.)" [Produced by J.PERIOD].  "The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.)" celebrates the latest episode in COMMON’s lifelong lyrical love-affair with hip hop, over exclusive production by J.PERIOD, and marks the second installment of a literary first: exclusive promo music released in tandem with a new novel. 

Set against the backdrop of graffiti-era New York, Manbach’s Rage Is Back delivers a mind-bending journey through a subterranean world of epic heroes and villains, and is already being called “the great American graffiti novel.”  A must-read for any literate hip-hop fan, Rage is Back is available in the iTunes bookstore (http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/rage-is-back/id540077534?mt=11) and is currently one of Amazon’s “Books of the Month” (http://www.amazon.com/Rage-Is-Back-A-Novel/dp/0670026123).
