"Blowout Comb" by Digable Planets (1994)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Digable Planets "Blowout Comb"  1994 (USA)
Digable Planets were a "one-hit wonder" from the golden age of rap and they only recorded two albums before breaking up. Their debut album from 1992 contained the hit, and was a fine example of the "jazz rap" style that was popular at the time. However, their lesser-known swan song Blowout Comb was their masterpiece, featuring epic tracks and real jazz musicians that create a surrealistic beatnik fantasia. Lead rapper Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler resurfaced in later years with another unique rap project called Shabazz Palaces where he goes by the rap name "Palaceer Lazaro".
