Shabazz Palaces - “Belhaven Meridian” [OFFICIAL] from Kahlil Joseph on Vimeo.
“Just a quick, early head’s up about an exciting new development in Seattle hiphop: Check out Shabazz Palaces’ two CDs, available at Retail Therapy. Local shoegaze-rock mensch Erik Blood produced them; the MC sounds a lot like Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler from Digable Planets, but the project’s shrouded in secrecy… and saturated in awesome. Think a laidback Clipse without the booger-sugar obsession. It’s special. King Britt is a fan. (Also, props to anyone who samples Lightnin’ Rod’s Hustlers Convention.)” -Dave Segal for The Stranger’s Line Out
“Word on the skreets (and to anyone with a familiarity with Blowout Comb and a working sense of hearing) is, it’s Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler’s new shit- and that it’s fucking cracking. To me, it sounds like that next level hookah lounge blipster spy flick music. The info is quite deliberately scarce..” - Lar for Reigndrophustla.com
