Shabazz Palaces takes spacey hip hop further out then they've every done before, while still somehow holding ground in hazy, headnodding beats and rhymes – delivering 2 separate albums loosely centered around a cosmic character called
Quazarz! Far out as concept is and as thickly atmospheric as the vocals are record, Born On A Gangster Star and
Quazarz Vs The Jealous Machines still manage to come across as some of the most immediately accessible music the duo have recorded to date – but still a far murkier, moodier outer space experience than Ishmael Butler's pioneering legendary work with jazz rap pioneers Digable Planets or the underrated Cherrywine. Includes "Welcome To
Quazarz", "Gorgeous Sleeper Cell", "Atlaantis", "Effeminence", "30 Clip Extension", "Sabonim In The Saab On 'Em", "The SS Quintessence", "Late Night Phone Calls" feat Laz & "
Quazarz On 23rd" and more.
