Robert Glasper Experiment - Black Radio

2013 Grammy Awards:

Best R&B Album

The Robert Glasper Experiment (with a slew of all-star guest vocalists) issues its first standalone album titled Black Radio, for Blue Note, seeking to blur boundaries between jazz, hip-hop, R&B, and rock 'n' roll. Featuring the jazz pianist Glasper and his electric experimental band, Black Radio is a future landmark album that boldly stakes out new musical territory and transcends any notion of genre, drawing from jazz, hip hop, R&B and rock, but refusing to be pinned down by any one tag. Black Radio also features many of Glasper's famous friends from the spectrum of urban music, seamlessly incorporating appearances from a jaw-dropping roll call of special guests including Erykah Badu, Bilal, Lupe Fiasco, Lalah Hathaway, Shafi q Husayn (Sa-Ra), KING, Ledisi, Chrisette Michele, Musiq Soulchild, Meshell Ndegeocello, Stokley Williams (Mint Condition), and yasiin bey (Mos Def).
