Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, DJ Evil Dee, Buckshot Shorty, Smif ‘N Wesson and a collection of guests on August 10, Rakim and Rapsody with guests and a silent hip-hop disco DJ’d by DJ Spinna and DJ Rashida on August 11.
The J. Period Live Mixtape Gods and Kings Edition was an amazing night of hip-hop featuring an a collection of legendary emcees, who understood in the eternal words of The God Emcee that “m.c. means move the crowd.” Check out some photos below.
