One of Illadelph's finest takes the stage at the Mid in Chicago.

Don't let the Fallon residency fool you, Black Thought will still body your favorite emcee. He wasn't too far off when he spit that he was "unsung, underrated, under-appreciated" on "Doin' It Again," from last year's stellar Roots LP, How I Got Over.

Friday in Chicago he'll be joined by a crew of DJs, includeing J. Period, who will be rocking joints from the legendary Roots catalogue and his Money Making Jam Boys material. The Roots frontman tours a lot less than in the past, so catch him while you can, because who knows when he'll be doing it again.

Black Thought and J. Period
Friday, April 1
10 p.m.-4 a.m.
The Mid
306 N. Halsted, Chicago 
Tickets $22 (Pre-Sale + Service Charge)
