The American pianist and producer drops a new video with Killer Mike, BJ the Chicago Kid and Big K.R.I.T., ahead of his upcoming album Black Radio III<\/em>.\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On February 25, ten years to the day after Black Radio<\/em>, Robert Glasper’s fifth and brilliant album, the American musician will release his new project Black Radio III<\/em>. Similarly to the two previous volumes, the album will celebrate “joy, love and resilience of the black community<\/em>” in America, wrapped in his usual and clever mix of jazz, soul and hip-hop. Album previews include the singles \u201cBetter Than I Imagined\u201d with H.E.R. and Meshell Ndegeocello, \u201cShine\u201d with D Smoke and Tiffany Gouch\u00e9 and most recently \u201cBlack Superhero\u201d, featuring rappers and vocalists Killer Mike, BJ the Chicago Kid and Big K.R.I.T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video for “Black Superhero” includes scenes shot in Los Angeles, highlighting the everyday heroes of predominantly African-American neighborhoods. To introduce the visual, a quote from writer and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates was chosen: “Black people love their children with a kind of obsession. You are all we have, and you come to us in danger<\/em>\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally from Houston, Texas, Robert Glasper was inspired by his mother, a pianist and gospel singer, to pursue a musical career. After attending Houston’s High School for the Performing Arts and Manhattan’s New School University, he released his debut album Mood <\/em>in 2004, followed by Canvas <\/em>and In My Element<\/em> on the prestigious Blue Note Records<\/a> label. He has also collaborated with artists such as Herbie Hancock, Kaytranada<\/a> and the late J Dilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
