LIMITED 'LOSER' EDITION RED VINYL
Release Date: 29th March 2024
"Shabazz Palaces’ two new mini-albums, ‘Robed in Rareness’ and ‘Exotic Birds of Prey’, are released 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 “enchanting and subversive,” while Pitchfork observed that “the futurism of Shabazz Palaces has always been interwoven with the past and present, their songs scintillating tapestries of old-school shit 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.”"
