John Legend and The Roots have announced an official mixtape with DJ J. Period, in support of their collaboration album Wake Up!, which is due in stores next Tuesday (September 21st). The lead single on the mixtape is a song that features John Legend & The Roots called "Our Generation." The remix to "Our Generation" was produced by J.Period and features legendary MC's Pete Rock & CL Smooth reunited on a track together for the first time in nearly 7 years. With John Legend & The Roots joining forces to propel political songs like Ernie Hines' "Our Generation" back into mainstream popularity, it was only fitting for J.Period to reunite the Pete Rock & CL Smooth, who sampled Hines on their seminal 1992 single "Straighten It Out". "When these songs were written, people were more spiritually in tune," said ?uestlove of 1960's and 70's political music. "It was fresh from the civil rights era and there was a feeling of hope that maybe, yes, someday we will all be free. In 2010, not so much."
