Through this new electronic press kit by jazz pianist and music producer Robert Glasper, you learn about the inspiration and artist collaborations behind his forthcoming album ‘Black Radio’.

‘Black Radio’ draws from jazz, hip hop, R&B and rock, but refuses to be pinned down by any one tag. The album includes guest appearances by Shafiq Husayn, Erykah Badu, Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def and Bilal. Pre-order the album here, or stay tuned for the release on February 28th, 2012. Also noteworthy is this freestyle session with Kanye West and Mos Def at New York jazz club Blue Note last year.
