Robert Glasper Experiment Wins Best R&B Album for ‘Black Radio’ at 2013 Grammy Awards

This year, the Grammys announced many awards before the big show.

One of those shiny gramophones went to Robert Glasper for his 'Black Radio' LP, which won Best R&B Album.

Glasper went up against a series of R&B veterans including Anthony Hamilton for 'Back to Love,' R. Kelly for 'Write Me Back,' Tamia for 'Beautiful Surprise' and Tyrese for 'Open Invitation.'

This collaborative album featuring Musiq Soulchild, Lupe Fiasco, Bilal and others, was the musician-producer's first nomination in the Best R&B Album category.
