Shabazz Palaces é o projeto atual e chapante de Ishmael Butler, conhecido por ser um dos fundadores do Digable Planets nos anos 90 e posteriormente com a banda blues-hip-hop Cherrywine. O cara lançou dois EPs bem loucos (em todos os sentidos) em 2009 e chega agora com seu álbum de estréia pela Sub Pop Records. “Black Up” é espetacular e alucinógeno! Produções experimentais e letras completamente surtadas cheias de papos espirituais, cientificos e abstratos. São dez pedradas que te levam rumo ao desconhecido mundo de Shabazz Palaces. Dificil de entender, mas depois de ingerido, a digestão é prazeirosa.
