Bajah lends his voice to two tracks on K’Naan’s new mixtape by J Period. The mixtape, dropped in 3 installments, remixes and re-imagines music from three monumental artists of our time: Bob Marley, Fela Kuti & Bob Dylan. They all also happen to be some of Bajah + the Dry Eye Crew’s biggest musical inspirations.

Download the whole project from J Period’s website.

Last night on the show, Jimmy Fallon and ?uestlove  bantered about the August 4th Planet Hip-Hop panel on which Bajah will be featured, alongside Public Enemy’s Chuck D, entrepreneur Steve Stoute, and ?uestlove himself. The evening will be moderated by Wall Street Journal’s culture editor Christopher John Farley, as they discuss why hip-hop has gone global — and where the music is heading next. Tickets are here and last night’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon is here (check about 9 minutes in for Bajah’s lovely portrait).
