J.PERIOD recently dropped Rage is Back, a mixtape inspired by bestselling author Adam Mansbach’s novel of the same title. You might recall that the two took part in a PopRally event last month about narrative constructions and its connection to graffiti. Rage Is Back, J.Period’s hip-hop storybook, features rhymes from the Root’s Black Thought, Common, the Kid Daytona, Blu, Homeboy Sandman, and Shad–among others.
PopRally will present a panel discussion about narrative constructions and its connection to literature and graffiti at MoMA next week. Radio host and culture critic Jay Smooth will moderate the talk. The panel will include GZA of the hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan; New York graffiti artist Alan Ket; Adam Mansbach, New York Times bestselling author of the upcoming graffiti novel Rage is Back as well as Brooklyn-based artist José Parlá. Hip-Hop producer and DJ J.Period will also be in attendance to spin a few records for the event.
