J.PERIOD REMIX FEATURED IN TRAILER FOR FOX SEARCHLIGHT FILM STREET KINGS
J.Period Remix Goes from Mixtape to Major Film Release
New York, NY – April 2008 – After landing an original track in TV spots for Universal Pictures’ American Gangster last year, J.Period has once again broken new ground, becoming the first mixtape DJ to ever make the jump directly from mixtape to major film release with a remix! The track, a collaboration with Game Rebellion entitled “Break Down,” hits theaters this month in both domestic TV spots and international theatrical trailers for Fox Searchlight’s Street Kings, starring Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker, Common, and The Game. The original version of the track was featured on J.Period & Game Rebellion’s Searching for Rick Rubin – a hip hop-rock hybrid hailed as one of the top mixtapes of 2007 (Okayplayer.com). J.Period’s Remix adds new musical elements and arrangement, plus new original lyrics by Game Rebellion front man Netic the Rebel. Street Kings, an adrenaline-charged tale of crooked cops and the criminal underworld, is also featuring Lupe Fiasco’s “Little Weapon” in current domestic trailers.
With two film placements secured and more in the works, J.Period continues to carve out a unique new niche for himself as DJ/Producer in both the hip hop and film worlds, treading further into uncharted territory for a traditional mixtape DJ. But “traditional” has hardly been the word to define J.Period’s rise to success—or his strategy. Working directly with major labels to help transform the mixtape genre into a legitimate enterprise, rethinking digital music distribution on J.Period Flash Drives, and catapulting Mixtape Remixes into the film world, J.Period continues to redefine what it means to be a Mixtape DJ, and a hip hop artist, in today’s ever-changing Music Industry.
