I tumbled across Shabazz Palace earlier this week and was completely floored by the avant-garde experimental Hip Hop duo's debut album Black Up that hit the net Fall 2011. Ishmahl Butler, aka Butterfly of 90s hip hop jazz group Digable Plantes, and Tendai Maraire, the ingenious instrumentalist behind the albums production, come together to deliver an all encompassing expression of art in the form of wavelengths.
Black Up possesses a strong revolutionary spirit.The highly conscious lyrical content fused with abstract rhythms makes for esoteric values. Shabazz Palace makes music that would fit well into Documentary films, especially profiling revolutionist themes.
