NW Hip Hop

richer than money - incandescent / the air keeps glistening - she knows she’s in the presence

Shabazz Palaces can really jam out with their hip-hop, if you didn’t know. And instead of being spread too thin at those moments, that’s to me where their stuff is most potent. This song truly does sound like being “out of my body / out of my mind.” Especially that awesome stretch at the six minute mark.

Song Of The Day: Radio Sunday (2/25/13)

Song: Free Press & Curl

Artist: Shabazz Palaces

Album: Black Up

Still to this day, I am so impressed with this album. They always get radio spins on KEXP for their live performance of this album (which is STILL #1 on the charts.) Treat yourself to something great if you haven’t heard of these guys. Check it here.

Shabazz Palaces - Swerve… The reeping of all that is worthwhile (Noir not withstanding)

This album was on repeat for a while and it really didn’t get the exposure it deserves.

Go buy it.

Shabazz Palaces release a new video from Black Up for the song “Are you…can you…were you (Felt).”

Definitely one of my favorites from the album. Shabazz just keeps killin’ it.
