— Highly-touted and multi-talented artist Robert Glasper recruits the late Mac Miller for his latest single, “Therapy pt.2,” from his forthcoming album Black Radio III: Supreme Edition.

4x Grammy and Emmy-winning artist Robert Glasper had released “Therapy pt.2″ featuring Mac Miller, the first new single from Black Radio III: Supreme Edition, an extended digital version of his heralded 2022 album Black Radio III. The Supreme Edition of Black Radio III, out Friday via Loma Vista Recordings, is a deluxe treatment of the third installment in the Black Radio series, based on the history changing album of the same name that celebrates a decade this year. Supercharged with a roster of R&B luminaries like PJ Morton, Estelle, India Arie, Luke James, Bilal, BJ The ChicagoKid, and more who join an already incredible roster of artists, Black Radio III: Supreme Edition is a true reflection of Glasper’s relationships and respect in the music community. 

Glasper reminisces on the making of Therapy pt.2″ featuring Mac Miller,

“I was working with my friend. We were just finishing up this specific beat. I immediately sent it to him, and literally within an hour he sent me back that track. Everything was on there — both verses the choruses — and you could tell it was not something that he had written before. He sang the chord changes. You can tell he really came up with that in the moment.”   

The estate of Mac Miller shares, 

“We’re honored to support in sharing this beautiful song that Malcolm and Robert Glasper created together. The song is a reflection of the special friendship and musical gifts the two shared.”

This month, dubbed Robtober, marks the return of Robert Glasper’s legendary Blue Note residency at the iconic New York City jazz club featuring Yasiin Bey, Lalah Hathaway, Terrace Martin, Alex Isley and more surprise guests. This week, Glasper celebrates the release of Black Radio III: Supreme Edition with a livestream concert straight from the stage of his residency via Twitch.

The residency will include tributes to Herbie Hancock and the late Meghan Stabile, a celebrated jazz promoter and friend of Glasper, in addition to nights with Lalah Hathaway and Dinner Party sets with Terrace Martin.
