Digable Planets was one of the first rap acts to introduce rap's jazzier side to mainstream America. Now they're back to show their roots with BLOWOUT COMB.
The band that was "hip like that" and "grooved like that" while fronting a live jazz band on their debut embraces their afrocentric roots and Brooklyn heritage throughout the grooves on BLOWOUT COMB. Digable Planets' nucleus of rappers Butterfly, Ladybug and Doodlebug have relaxed their style to sound less slick, but it works and the feel is noticeably more comfortable.
Possibly it's Digable Planets' love for their home Brooklyn that makes BLOWOUT COMB so immediately familiar and accessible. Proving that neighborhood pride equals nationalism for many rap acts, Digable Planets' politics are obvious but not overbearing. Mentions of Brooklyn's numerous neighborhoods weave themselves in and out of Digable Planets' pro-black, community pride aesthetic. With liner notes advertising Digable Planets block parties next to calls-to-action to free political prisoners, BLOWOUT COMB ranks as one of the most community-centered rap albums of the year.
