Shabazz Palaces
Black Up
Shabazz Palaces’ Black Up is a bold and intricate exploration of hip hop, blending abstract soundscapes with politically charged commentary. Released in 2011, this album marks the debut of the Seattle-based duo—Palaceer Lazaro (formerly known as Butterfly from Digable Planets) and multi-instrumentalist Tendai Maraire—under the Shabazz Palaces moniker. What sets Black Up apart is its fearless blend of avant-garde experimentalism with the raw, unfiltered energy of hip hop, creating a sonic landscape that is both cerebral and visceral.
