The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
The Robert Glasper experiment works because he brings soul and creativity back to black music, not just the same ole, rehashed sounds that are popular today.

Sadly, that’s an indictment on where music is today. Too much is homogenized to make the quick dollar.
