#7: BLACK RADIO - Robert Glasper [ALBUMS OF 2012]

Robert Glasper is a name i wasn't familiar with until about a year ago. My introduction to Robert was the single Ah Yea (ft Musiq Soulchild & Chrisette Michelle). At the time, the artists rumoured to feature on Black Radio made it one of the anticipated albums of 2012.

The album definitely lives up to the hype and is clearly one of the Jazz albums of the year without a doubt. Features on the record include Musiq, Chrisette Michelle, Stokley(mint condition), Lupe Fiasco, Bilal, Lalah Hathaway, Erykah Badu, KING, Yaasin Bey (Mos Def), Ledisi & Meshell Ndegeocello.


In October, he released the Black Radio Recovered: The Remix EP featuring remixes and some new features. 
For Jazz purists or skeptics alike - this needs to be in everyone's ipod/music collection. Check out his earlier album, Double Booked while you're at it- comes recommended.
