After releasing two critically adored, short albums under the largely unidentifiable alias Palaceer Lazaro, Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler of New York hip-hop trio Digable Planets is just now beginning to pull back the curtain on his work with Shabazz Palaces. The group’s first full-length, Black Up, has staked a claim in Sub Pop history as the first hip-hop release on the label, and with their avant-garde approach to the genre and constant comparisons to Radiohead’s brother-band Flying Lotus, it’s no surprise.
