We are suckers for a nicely-packaged, Limited Edition box set. When they are done right, they can be beautiful. Expensive, but beautiful.
There have been some great ones on the market this year, including the J Dilla King of the Beats set, which includes music on everything from cassette tapes to floppy discs, all wrapped up in a box that has been made to look just like Dilla’s beloved SP-1200.
Producer and mixtape master J.Period is the latest artist to have his work given the special box set treatment, in celebration of a decade’s worth of mixes that have featured some of the most creative emcees in the game. This one comes with tons of music, plus a portable speaker, glossy booklet and much more, all crafted with care by design studio Good Wood NYC.
We are dribbling with excitement at the prospect of getting our hands on one of the small number that have been made, and we’re secretly hoping that Mr Period might even consider letting us have one (hey, its worth a try). In the meantime, watch the video below for more on how the box set came about.
