Robert Glasper featuring Lupe Fiasco & Bilal - Always Shine

[@jeniweni]

I know it gets tiring to see “Namjoon brought me here” comments but I’m so glad he did. I love lyrical rap with jazz elements like this but it’s hard for me to find. Such a beautiful song and message. Thank you :)

[@fay_g0]

jenises if he listens to this genre i really wouldnt mind him doing lives of his jam session🤟🏼☺️

[@MusiqTruth]

Bilal is the voice of consciousness. You hear him on so many hooks from the SoulAquarians to Kendrick, to Lupe, to The Roots, etc. He's always there- lending his voice and reflecting exactly the soul of the African diaspora.

[@miss.b7966]

Nothing but facts!! 🖤😍

[@Redline6ix]

I grew up in Kuwait and in the music shop my mum shopped at, they had his poster up of that exact album you are speaking of, it is yellow/orange and in touch with the hues of the desert, it stood out to me always when my mum would go to the shop to get her Arabic music tapes. I swear that was in the late 90s also...but your comment touched me as a arab born in diaspora

[@leenamarie47]

Lupe is communicating with us even through a higher subconscious level, He's a poet, a new array of music he brings. It's so good, in fact it's too good you ain't even gotta listen to what he's saying.. Just pay attention to everything around you.. ;-)

[@raccooncutie3023]

My boi got some taste cuz this is such a masterpiece 👌👌 **chef kiss**

[@aarfeld]

I have pretty traditional tastes in Jazz, but I love this fresh update of the genre by fusing it with Hip Hop and contemporary R&B for a modern take on what Jazz can be in Century 21. Turning to contemporary culture for renewed inspiration--hey, it's an old Jazz tradition.

I hope see these gangsters Actin' like teachers Wake up out they sleep Dare to dream In a world so Martin Luther King-less Lyrical. Genius.

The brilliance of this LP never dulls. No one is bringing it better than RG these days. As an older man, raised on Miles, his contemporaries and his players that went off to establish themselves as groundbreakers and fusion greats, this young man brings back powerfully something i thought was fading to black...But now, from black, Black Radio. Joyous again.

[@ldbboosha]

Man, Bilal's voice just does it for me.

[@blackvitruvianman]

Great jazz pianist, composer, and producer!! This song is fantastic!!

This song... Robert Glasper always gives me life. 🙌

[@ameliengn]

I came here thanks to Namjoon. I really love the song, it's so good ! I really like to listen to various genre of music but it takes time to discover new songs.. I just want to tell to ARMYs: please don't just write in the comment section "namjoon" "Namjoon brought me here". Maybe you don't know but it can sounds disrespectful for the music and some people and I also think so. Let's be thankful that namjoon brought us here because this song is really amazing💜 please take a look to the lyrics also ;)

[@zetzet6795]

really good recommendation from namjoon ♡

[@lilhavin]

I'm convinced that this isn't real life as I listen to this. This can't be real music! I never thought stuff this amazing existed in "this days time".

[@cjgameon264]

Lupe stay blessing mics!!!! Dude is so gifted and I've been rocking wit Lupe since the days of "Kick, Push" and he's one of the few MCs who's style stayed the same BUT lyrically, his rhymes steadily increases!!!

[@dizzle1052]

the fact that Namjoon listened to this makes my day idk why

[@danielbuijs8647]

I feel like whenever hip hop is mixed with jazz/funk/soul its the best feeling in the world, it always gives mee goosebumps all over, there's Just so much pure emotion in songs from like lupe, common, anderson.paak etc. The best mix of music ever.

[@lungalevane]

its "not a peace sign but a fascination with scissors" lupe defines rap genius, robert glasper is Jazz, bilal, well what more can i say about him. this album is what we needed in this fast moving, electric induced musical universe. cant count the number of eargasms ive received while listening to this. all i can say is big up..... BLACK RADIO BABYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brahmabkitty03]

Great Colab! I'm forever a Lupe and Rob Glasper fan. They should work together more.

[@lindsaylopez8930]

Yes this song is amazing and we understand you came because of Joonie, but please I urge you to truly honestly and carefully listen to the lyrics. It’s a message and it’s an amazing song with deep lyrics, please take time to look into this song. 💜

[@kamikazi7348]

Im a huge fan of lupe he is a poet with poetical justice. this collabration is pure music. Poetry and a band not much more needs to be said.

[@prismertraxx]

You have good taste in music. Glasper, Blu & Exile. Thumbs up.

[@Annatar3469]

Lupe should work more with jazz. He sounded great on John Coltrane's Acknowledgement (Lupe Fiasco - Life, Death & Love From San Francisco) and he sounds fantastic on this one.

[@seang8713]

I’m simply here to revisit this masterpiece I heard 8 years ago✨

[@blackmamba4494]

Yo I'm a big Lupe fan and I'm just hearing this it's amazing tho 🙏🏿

[@susmitashreesh1263]

Namjoon is currently listening to this song

[@shellaart8064]

Lmao that's why am.here😳❤

[@hajlenelam7211]

me too and it's because of Joonie lol

[@eleanorrigby7897]

It took me a while to find it...but I'm here and I'm vibing🤟🏼🦄

[@d8mian1]

Who says today's music is garbage? Definitely not me and this song is the proof!

[@jaydeemorgan]

I love this song. I also love that Lupe Fiasco wrote his rap on the spot in the studio - that's extremely impressive.

[@zimzadaah]

I SO 2nd THAT!!! forget all this mainstream stuff! I just discovered Robert Glasper and I'm in just awe!!

[@Trev.]

This whole album is on another level. Every time I think real music is a thing of the past, something like this comes along.

[@catdeluxeatday]

This cd is unreal.

[@andersonearl]

ok... i stumbled across this and dayum am i glad i did....

[@JohannArellano]

Who’s here because of RM live?

[@hajlenelam7211]

[@SilkyStar79]

This is hitting all my music senses❣️

[@snortsandgigglesfest]

this music is so beautiful that I want to cry and laugh hysterically at the same time

[@chocolate91]

The outro at 4:48-5:24 is probably some hidden bonus track that Japan always get lol

[@ZenAscent]

Oh how i wish radio music sounded this good.

[@nataliajackson1074]

Oh! I love the Dream Often image!! I know the photographer! How beautiful!! Its perfect! X. The “dream often” photograph is by Barron Claiborne. X

[@abdullahquick2925]

there is nono such thing as real blackness, that neo-blackness is being black in the current moment and all the complexities that comes with, from the sagging pants at morehosue college to the handshakes and ebonics on the set of black panther, from the girls poppin bublegum and ass in the clubs of inner city neighboorhoods to the snabpacks over small dreads of the women on the corner hustling . Lupe Fiasco, who is featured on this song, made a song called 'Hood Now' go listen to it, appreciate all blackness if we dont, who will?

[@veravalentiana8358]

feel healed for song, thank you Robert

[@kristalmartinez8220]

Not only here for RM but this beautiful masterpiece that was presented to me💜

[@simonebaker2058]

[@EMMmaximino]

This shit rips neurons in my head, hip hop should just make the jump to this style it just makes sense with all the sampling, they would not have to

[@jkrush]

Thank you Robert Glasper... proof that music lives let's destroy this matrix thinking people.

i love how Lupe still manages to do 'real' music, besides his more commercial pop biz.

[@sATaLyte]

Real nice. I've heard quite a few bangers off this new album.

[@Devotionorange]

This is about returning to how we initially came-as pure love.

[@Minacollections]

This song has been on repeat since RM played it on his live it’s so good the song has Namjoon’s vibes

[@ingriddickson7071]

[@SoulGlo85]

Lupe was forced to do his last album catered to the pop world. it was the last album of his current contract. His new music is going to be phenomenal. Food & Liquor 2!!!
