About This Item
On March 29, 2024, Shabazz Palaces' two new mini-albums, Robed in Rareness and Exotic Birds of Prey, come out on CD and LP. Shabazz Palaces is masterminded by Ishmael Butler (Digable Planets), whose relentless drive to reimagine hip-hop - even as he enjoys his fifth decade on Earth - remains undiminished. When Robed in Rareness hit digital platforms in 2023, NPR Music called it Inchenchanting and subversive, Inch while Pitchfork observed that Inchthe futurism of Shabazz Palaces has always been interwoven with the past and present, their songs scintillating tapestries of old-school S**t talk, proggy psychedelia, and melodic flossing. Robed in Rareness is draped in this multiplicity as Butler and a team of close collaborators swagger across eras of rap.Inch Album Tracks 1. Binoculars (Feat. Royce the Choice) 2.
