Glorious Game is a powerful collaboration between soul-funk revivalists El Michels Affair and legendary Roots frontman Black Thought. The album merges cinematic soul instrumentals with sharp, poetic lyricism, forming a raw, introspective collection that balances groove with gravitas. Black Thought delivers autobiographical verses with his trademark intensity, while El Michels’ lush arrangements—featuring dusty drums, warm horns, and psychedelic textures—create a vintage yet timeless soundscape. It's a striking blend of hip-hop and soul, with themes of legacy, identity, and struggle running deep through every track.
