Era & Context
Released a decade after the original Black Radio, during a period of heightened social consciousness following the racial justice movements of 2020. Features H.E.R., Gregory Porter, Killer Mike, and Musiq Soulchild. Where the first Black Radio was a genre provocation, this is a cultural statement — positioning Black music as a unified tradition of resistance and beauty rather than a set of market categories.
Career Phase
The Experiment years: fully hybrid jazz-hip-hop-R&B projects that redefined what a jazz musician could release, winning Grammys and reaching audiences far beyond the jazz world.
