Description:

It has been 10 years since the release of "BLACK RADIO", a fusion of black music by Robert Glasper, a revolutionary who continues to express the voice of the times through sound. A powerful, innovative, and beautiful expression of the frustrations and opportunities of a world disrupted by social change, BLACK RADIO is a masterpiece of black music culture in 2022! Black Radio, released in 2012, was a landmark album that shaped new directions in the jazz/hip-hop/R&B genres for the next decade, directly influenced the subsequent emergence of musicians such as Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, and Kendrick Lamar, and expanded the possibilities of black music, This is the first new album from Glasper in almost two years since "Fuck Yo Feeling," an album that has established him as a producer, curator, and cultural icon.As with the previous two Black Radio releases, it is a statement and a statement for our time, featuring some of the most powerful voices in black music today (Killer Mike, Ty Dollar Sign, D-Smoke, PJ Morton), along with some of the most important lyricists and performers of the past 30 years (Ledecy, Common, Q Tip, Esperanza, Gregory Porter, Music Soulchild, India Arie, and Jennifer Hudson), along with a wide range of featured artists, Black Radio 3 is a statement for our times. It is Glasper's most direct expression of the frustrations and opportunities of a world disrupted by social change. It is a powerful, innovative, and at the same time beautiful masterpiece, with all but one track being an original composition. The album features a cover of Nirvana in "Black Radio," followed by Radiohead and others, and this album features "Rule the World" by the much-talked-about reunion Tears for Fears, featuring Leila Hathaway and Common!
