March 29 street date. 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. "Exotic Birds Of Prey" furthers the modus operandi of "Robed In Rareness": a respectful eye on the past, an embrace of an ever-evolving present, with its feet firmly planted in the future. Where "Robed" warped sounds like shoegaze and ambient music into the Shabazz Palaces multiverse, "Exotic" cross-pollinates these elements with twisted electro and funk vibes.

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".

June 28 street date. Note that we will receive stock on this late. 2014's "Lese Majesty" is the space-bending sophomore album by Shabazz Palaces, the long-running project of hip-hop legend Ishmael Butler of Digable Planets. Honed and primal, chromed and primo. A unique and glorified offering into our ever-uniforming musical soundscape. "Lese Majesty" is a beatific war cry, born of a spell, acknowledging that sophistication and the instinctual are not at odds; indeed an undoing of the lie of their disparate natures. This 10th anniversary LP edition is on limited red and black vinyl.
