Experience the landmark, Grammy-winning fusion masterpiece that redefined the boundary between modern jazz, hip-hop, and neo-soul.
Originally released in 2012 on the iconic Blue Note label, Black Radio is the seminal fifth studio album by acclaimed pianist and composer Robert Glasper alongside his groundbreaking band, The Robert Glasper Experiment (featuring Casey Benjamin, Derrick Hodge, and Chris Dave). Serving as a bridge between rich jazz traditions and contemporary urban music, the record earned the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album, instantly establishing itself as a future classic.
Spanning Jazz-Fusion, Neo-Soul, Hip-Hop, and Alternative R&B, the double album showcases a star-studded roster of guest vocalists and collaborators. Highlights include gorgeous reimaginings of Mongo Santamaria's "Afro Blue" (featuring Erykah Badu), Sade's "Cherish the Day" (featuring Lalah Hathaway), and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", alongside incredible original tracks with Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def), Lupe Fiasco, Bilal, Ledisi, and Meshell Ndegeocello.
Pressed on 180-Gram Heavyweight Black Vinyl across two LPs and housed in a gatefold picture sleeve, this release delivers maximum warm analog richness for an essential modern masterpiece.
