The album inner sleeve contains the following note from director Spike Lee:
Many of the artists on this project were friends of Detroit Red/Malcolm Little. Malcolm loved to dance, and to be around the music. We have attempted to re-create that music, that sound - the distinct sound of the African-American experience.
The songs gathered here, from Big Joe Turner's "Roll 'Em Pete" to Arrested Development's rap anthem, "Revolution", all in some way reflect what it means to live, breathe, die and love, as the descendants of slaves.
May we look forward to the day when Black Radio is as diverse as the music you're listening to here.
—Spike Lee, Brooklyn, NY, September 1992
