Loser Edition on translucent White Vinyl. On March 29, 2024, Shabazz Palaces' two new mini-albums, Robed in Rareness and Exotic Birds of Prey, come out on CD and LP. Shabazz Palaces is masterminded by Ishmael Butler (Digable Planets), whose relentless drive to reimagine hip-hop - even as he enjoys his fifth decade on Earth - remains undiminished. Exotic Birds of Prey furthers the modus operandi of Robed in Rareness: a respectful eye on the past, an embrace of an ever-evolving present, with it's feet firmly planted in the future. Where Robed warped sounds like shoegaze and ambient music into the Shabazz Palaces multiverse, Exotic cross-pollinates these elements with twisted electro and funk vibes. Exotic BOP (feat. Purple Tape Nate), Angela (feat. Stas THEE Boss ; Irene Barber), Myths Of The Occult (feat. Japreme Magnetic), Goat Me (feat. Cobra Coil), Well Known Nobody (feat. OCnotes), Synth Dirt, Take Me To Your Leader (feat. Lavarr the Starr)
