3001888, Maybe call these the Glasper Tree? Posted by C. Thelonius, Sun Feb-25-18 06:29 PM
They all have have Glasper featured playing or he's a main musician/producer, except one (Urbanus, though Casey Benjamin is on there). They have similar sounds and aesthetics steeped in hip-hop, forward-thinking jazz, and Soulquarian neo-soul. A lot of these artists I think were able to put out these albums because of Glasper's rise, directly or indirectly, starting after In My Element. So, I guess that's where the connection is for me.
