Our Take

When it comes to futuristic, boundary-pushing hip-hop, few do it quite like Shabazz Palaces. Their 2011 debut album "Black Up" is a mind-bending journey through outer space, with intricate beats and complex lyrics that will leave you scratching your head in the best possible way.

From the moment the ethereal opening track "Free Press and Curl" kicks in, you know you're in for something special. The production on this album is next level, with layers upon layers of sonic textures that weave in and out of each other seamlessly. It's like a sonic tapestry that unfolds with each listen, revealing new intricacies every time.

Ishmael Butler's delivery is as enigmatic as ever, with his poetic wordplay and profound insights into the human experience. Tracks like "An Echo from the Hosts that Profess Infinitum" and "Are You… Can You… Were You? (Felt)" showcase his lyrical prowess, while tracks like "Swerve... The reeping of all that is worthwhile (Noir not without merit)" and "A Treatease Dedicated to The Avian Airess From North East Nubis (1000 questions, 1 answer)" will have you nodding your head in blissful confusion.

Overall, "Black Up" is a bold and daring statement from Shabazz Palaces, cementing their status as one of the most innovative acts in hip-hop today. This album is a must-listen for anyone looking to push the boundaries of their musical taste and experience something truly out of this world.
