Shabazz Palaces' afrofuturistic vision of hip-hop continues to blossom in new and unexpected ways. The Seattle based duo has announced its next studio album Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star and released a new song "Shine a Light" feat. Thaddillac.
Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star is about a “sentient being from somewhere else” named Quazarz. Ishmael Butler (Palaceer Lazaro) explains:
"I, Quazarz, Born On A Gangster Star, son only of Barbara Dream Caster and Reginald The Dark Hoper - he who rides on light - dreamer of the seventh dream and kissed eternal by Awet the Sun Scented - who far from home I found my same self differents in those constellies that be Dai at my weap-side immediate and all us Water Guild affiliates who revelries in the futures passed recordings and ceremonies flexing resplendent in the Paradise Sportif armor - raising these musics a joy/cry that way into these aquadescentdiamondized ethers of the Migosphere here on Drake world. Welcome To Quazarz"
Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star is out July 14th.
