186403, Ummm...so....why isn't Robert Glasper an OkayArtist?

I know the site isn't the same as back in the day when it comes to promoting or interacting with OkayArtists or breaking new artists (Featured Artists or whatever it was called, can't remember), but Glasper is becoming that go-to piano/arranger dude for, ironically, a lot of OkayArtists, but many others as well. Not to mention that he has three albums out via the legendary Blue Note, whereas some OKA's only have two or less.

I know this sounds kinda heated, but really, what gives? OKP can veer out to jazz. It'll be ok.
186420, why don't you ask him that?

Hmmmmm. So it's on him, huh? I have no idea how it works, but could definitely be a big benefit for him. I've yet to find Double Booked in a store around here.
186429, Just picked up his new one last week
