i recently got introduced to a nice ass pianist - Robert Glasper. he's on GAS'D x AFTA-1's "LOVE IS REAL Vol. 4" with Bilal & the dude is amazing. the way his chords come together & make you feel something is something that i've always loved with ANY musician. if you can put together a melody or compose a melody, you're dope in my book.
can't get down with too much fabrication. haha. he's played for Mos Def, Common, Talib Kweli, Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Slum Village, J. Dilla & Jay-Z. i downloaded his latest project "Double Booked" & its down right inspirational. he has a few other joints under his belt such as his major label debut joint entitled "Canvas" & his sophomore release "Element".
he's what i call "the hope for the future of real music."Check him out: http://www.robertglasper.com/
