Every so often, you have to do something specifically for yourself. Forget costs, hindrances, obligations, whatever. I’ve never travelled to another state STRICTLY for music.   Considering that I love music and traveling, this trip has been a long time coming.  There was at least one “festival” that I’ve been feenin’ to go to so I made it happen. The 6th Annual Roots Picnic is being held on June 1st in Philly and I’m hype as hell that I get to experience it. Never seen The Roots live so I expect that to be the highlight of my trip.

Anyway, I’d like to share my enthusiasm with y’all. If you’re interested attended vicariously, I’ll be live tweeting the show to put y’all as close as you can get via the innanets. Follow me @ohsowrite, if you’re not already. The tweeting will start around 12pm EST. I’ll be using hashtags #RootsPicnic and #AudioGumbo so follow along!

In the meantime, vibe out to this dope mixtape by producer Cosmo Baker. It features sounds from every artist scheduled to perform on Saturday.

…And another one.  This time Robert Glasper is joined by everyone’s favorite DJ/drummer/producer/music aficionado Questlove.  Accompanied by The Roots and the sultry voice of Solange, “Twice,” a Little Dragon cover, is 9 minutes of passion and vitality.  I’m getting more excited with every share from Black Radio Recovered: The Remix EP.  Make sure you cop that on Oct. 9.

Whoa!  The super funky Georgia Anne Muldrow just freaked the shit out of this Robert Glasper Experiment track, “The Consequences of Jealousy” from Black Radio Recovered: The Remix EP.  It’s incredibly fitting that she would get her hands on this track to remix–she exhibits that same deep passion as this song’s vocalist, Meshell Ndegeocello.  So far, this is my favorite reworking.  Black Radio Recovered drops on Oct. 9.

Alright, people.  Robert Glasper has blessed us with the first track from his upcoming Black Radio Recovered: The Remix EP.  Featuring production from 9th Wonder and added vocals from Phonte, “Afro Blue” has now been transformed into a “fly love song,” sprinkled with soft flutes and Tigallo’s mellow lyrics.  Black Radio Recovered drops on Oct. 9.

Some of the best news I’ve heard this week, the official release of Robert Glasper’s Black Radio Recovered: The Remix EP drops on Oct. 9.  Glasper’s most recent release, Black Radio (still in heavy rotation, btw), is a beautiful melding of jazz, hip hop and soul, so there’s no doubt that The Remix EP will maintain that same level of genre intermixing.  With production credits from 9th Wonder, ?uestlove and Georgia Anne Muldrow, additional vocal stylings from talents such as Phonte, Black Milk and Solange Knowles, this reworking should be well worth the anticipation.  Check out the tracklisting and lil’ performance from The Robert Glasper Experiment with the lovely Lalah Hathaway under the cut.

With building anticipation of Black Radio (which will be in stores tomorrow, 2/28), a healthy sample of what’s in store from The Robert Glasper Experiment has been mixed, recorded and packaged up nicely, thanks to Frolab & All the Way Live.  The live recordings come from shows in NYC, Paris and Montreux with appearances from Yasiin Bey, Bilal, Phonte, and some other nice additions.

Download the mixtape here.
