Robert Glasper Experiment – Black Radio

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. The first full-length album from the GRAMMY-nominated keyboardist’s electric Experiment band—saxist Casey Benjamin, bassist Derrick Hodge, and drummer Chris Dave—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, Shafiq Husayn (Sa-Ra), KING, Ledisi, Chrisette Michele, Mos Def, Musiq Soulchild, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Stokley Williams (Mint Condition).

Miguel Atwood-Ferguson - Timeless: A Suite For Ma Dukes

Backstory: Miguel Atwood-Ferguson takes some of the late-great hip-hop producer J Dilla's greatest songs and arranges them for a 60-piece orchestra. Add a live audience and performances by Talib Kweli, Dwele, and Posdnous and you get a reinterpretation that adds to the legend of Dilla. 2/3 of the album is strictly orchestral work with the occasional accompanying drums. Surprisingly, the live appearances don't ruin the flow of the album but actually give the concert a dynamic live fluidity. The Stakes is High track that nears the albums end never fails to give me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Highly recommended

The Gza's Harvard Lecture The Audio

This man is finally gettin the respect he deserves...fuck the bullshit tho, I'mma keep it 100..

It wasn't so long ago, (and really it is still like this in many ways) that academic types turned their noses up at Hip-Hop and hardcore urban culture, branding it low ball and juvenile. Well guess what you stuffy ass, Thoreau and Ginsberg readin' fuckas, The Gza just spoke at your almighty Harvard. That's right, Wu-Tang is for the children ...of Cambridge.

Back on Thursday (Dec. 1st) The Genius broke it down for all the Crimson faithful who wanted to listen, and lectured on the music industry for the Harvard Black Men's Forum. Below you can download your copy of the lecture and you won't even have to register or show up on time and take notes..
