The track, a collaboration with Game Rebellion entitled "Break Down," hits theaters around the globe in International Trailers for Fox Searchlight's new 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 - hailed as one of the top mixtapes of 2007 (Okayplayer.com). J.Period's Remix adds new musical elements and arrangement, plus new lyrics by GR front man Netic the Rebel.
