26 years ago today (10.18.94), Digable Planets released their 2nd & final album Blowout Comb under EMI Records. Produced with Dave Darlington, the trio abandoned the radio friendly style of their debut Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time & Space) & worked with a more stripped-down sound. The album features a diverse range of samples and live instruments & contains lyrical themes of the inner city & Black Nationalism. The end result being in as much of a classic as the debut, with some saying it’s better ..

DigablePlanets - 9th Wonder

Go cop the new @pugsatomz - Cover art by Pugs Atomz character sculpting by @grizzeg Today my new album is available on all streaming platforms (link in bio) Producer @mulattopatriot and I worked on this over the course of 4 years, doing something I have never done before. For most of my life I have been a MC and I would record and album group project mixtape every 6 months or so. Then move on to the next thing focused on quanity, quality and time. (New project = New show$.) But after years of that I wanted to see how a project/art could evolve.  And with that I present "Highly Irregular"  we started recording as @Platinum23 and I were opening the first @iridiumlife store at Block 37 and my son was born.  Mullato was Djing and finishing up working with Psalm One and Probcause. Music wise I had Just dropped "Bama Pi" and and " Benetton Days" and wanted a change. Making songs at ease, adding and subtracting with no urgency, being able to wait for the voices you really want to complete and Idea with no stress. Some of the musicians and vocalist I wouldn't meet till 3 years into the project. Others like @algenoy and @djgantman I had known since my teens but we never had a chance to collaborate. Thanks to @glctheism @maceo_Haynes @maggievogel @djintel @yohomie4lifee @awdazcate_wafflegang @shaynalove  @cosg @calidb @grizzeg and @erinleannworks @CALIDB for collaborating on this project with me.
