Robert Glasper x Yasiin Bey – “Black Radio” (Pete Rock remix) | New Music

by Sam Gould October 3, 2012

The genius that is Robert Glasper returns with another remix from his Black Radio Recovered project and once again, he’s managed to flip an already great track, “Black Radio,” into a different kind of great track.

Calling upon the talents of legendary producer Pete Rock to take on the album’s title track/lead-single, Glasper brings us some wonderful surprises with this one. The first things you’ll notice are rougher drums and deeper bass, which give the track more of a boom-bap feel. This enhances, rather than takes away from the original sound, making Yasiin Bey‘s “You are rockin’ with the best” chant sound rather more at home.

At the same time, if you listen closely enough you’ll find that the overall structure of Glasper’s composition remains. The same mellow jazz keys which make the original such a lush soundscape survive in the background, and even as the percussion and bass have us nodding away, they close out the track with class and elegance.

about

I call this version of Robert Glasper's "Afro Blue" a remix but it's actually the original demo freaked a little.

lyrics

"Many have asked me what I'm talkin in my verse on "Afro Blue." To me the song is about ones love/admiration for Africa so my verse consist of metaphors about Mother Africa (The Mayan comment was jus a bonus). Read the lyrics to the verse below"-Anu~Sun 

Visions of you, 
Mother land what it dew? 
No flaws, like NAH, I'm in awe of your view! 
Feature in the Source, well of course its YOU 
Five mics, show ya right! 
Pay respect where it's due. 
Rep rings true, your reputwa is flawless. 
Rome to D.C. these n***as ride your 
phallus. 
Stars in the system so the bloodline glisten. 
They got they spies sittin by, as we talk 
they listen. 
Can't peep lingo tho, keep tryin, poker face you're misreading Mayan. 
Ribbon in the sky, we fly, throw ya fist up in the air keep em high!!
