Video: Robert Glasper & Bilal’s Miles Davis Rework, ‘Ghetto Walkin” – The FADER

Robert Glasper will mark what would have been Miles Davis’ 90th birthday with the release of Everything’s Beautiful, an 11-track album that is inspired by themes within and comprised of samples from the late legend’s catalog.

Today, Glasper has shared a visual for one of those tracks, “Ghetto Walkin,'” a contemporized take on Davis’ late-late ’60s production “The Ghetto Walk” that features Bilal. The video, by animation duo String Theory, casts the faces scrawled on the album’s cover in a story of overcoming that is staged on dark and danger-riddled city streets.

Watch the video at The FADER.
