Shabazz Palaces are a Seattle-based hip-hop collective, led by Ishmael Butler aka 'Palaceer Lazaro' (once 'Butterfly' of jazz-rap group Digable Planets) and multi-instrumentalist Tendai 'Baba' Maraire, son of Mbira master Dumisani Maraire. The group anonymously self-released two EPs, ''Eagles Soar, Oil Flows'' and ''The Seven New'' (referred to as ''Shabazz Palaces'' and ''Of Light'') in 2009 before becoming one of the few hip-hop acts to be signed to the Sub Pop label and releasing their debut full-length album, ''Black Up'' to wide critical acclaim in 2011. ''Black Up'' was listed #1 in ''Seattle Times'' music columnist Andrew Matson's "Local Top #10" of 2011.
