About

Shabazz Palaces' Black Up was recently hailed as one of the best albums of the decade by outlets like Pitchfork, Gorilla Vs Bear, and Variety. Pitchfork summed it up thusly: "Black Up is drowned in murky instrumentals and bombastic, introspective rhymes. The sounds flirt with jazz but also root themselves in a firm understanding of silence, or the sparse magic of simplicity. The songs teem with unexpected climaxes...From great mystery exploded an album of impossible vision."

That "impossible vision" has continued to confound and engage Shabazz Palaces fans over the course of four acclaimed albums and two EPs. Each release feels like an evolution, letting the music speak for itself, while slowly revealing more about its creator.

With The Don of Diamond Dreams, that spirit remains, this time embracing modernism in hip-hop and rap. The album features the highlights "Fast Learner (ft. Purple Tape Nate)," "Chocolate Souffle," "Bad Bitch Walking (ft. Stas THEE Boss), and "Thanking The Girls." It also features contributions from singer/keyboardist Darrius Willrich, Seattle's OCnotes (who collaborated with Ishmael Butler on the Knife Knights project), Los Angeles musician Carlos Overall, and bassist Evan Flory-Barnes.

The Don of Diamond Dreams was produced by Shabazz Palaces at Protect and Exalt: A Black Space in Seattle, mixed and engineered by Erik Blood at Studio 4 Labs in Venice, California, and mastered by Scott Sedillo at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Los Angeles.

  • Incredible sound quality

    by Sara on 10/10/23Mercury Lounge - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

  • Best concert ever!!!

    by hasani on 8/8/15Music Hall of Williamsburg - BrooklynRating: 5 out of 5

    I don't usually leave reviews for anything, sonthe fact that I am writing this says a lot. This concert has been the best musical experience ever. The music hall had great lightening, obscenely perfect temperature. Respectful security and ticket reps. But enough about the venue. Shabazz Palaces gave the best performance I have ever seen, and I am one to binge watch Bob Marley, AC/DC and Jimmy Hendrix on youtube!!! Best rap group ever! Better than all the pop stars on the radio. It was futuristic, it was old school, it placed me in the present. If I died that night traveling home from Williamsburg to the hood It wouldn't matter because it was a great night.

    Incredible artists that blew my mind. They performed with incredible energy and made this show a truly immersive experience! I'm a fan forever and thank the venue for having them. I do appreciated the fact that the crowd was just enough and it wasn't super packed with no space to move which is what often happens at other venues. We could watch and dance freely in the space which helped enjoy Shabazz Palaces. Thanks!!!!

  • Shabazz Palaces is 500x Better Live

    by MissLibbyRose on 4/28/13Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Shabazz blew me away. My expectations were a replay of the EPs and album and a rigid Palaceer performing awesome music. What I got was a musical masterpiece. With trance-inducing improv, unexpected Motown dance steps, and a humble but beaming Palaceer, this was the best show I have ever attended.
