Robed in Rareness: Loser Edition Red Vinyl LP

Label: Sub Pop
Release Date: 29th March

Shabazz Palaces headed by hip hop veteran Ishmael Butler of Digable Planets fame is still an utterly unique rap experience, like being submerged in an underwater future funk club.

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.”
