Here's the closing track from our undisputed album of the year at this point, Shabazz Palaces' Black Up. Digable Planets fans will appreciate the "Escapism" nod at the end (which, as Ishmaelites points out, originates from this). mp3: ___________ Black Up is out June 28 on Sub Pop...

Sub Pop has signed Seattle's Shabazz Palaces, with the group's "debut full-length expected and anticipated in 2011." If you don't already own SP's two amazing EPs, you can listen to a few tracks below via Sup Pop's Soundcloud page. Shabazz Palaces sampler
