Shabazz Palaces is the duo of Palaceer Lazaro, aka Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler of ’90s jazz rap group Digable Planets, and instrumentalist and producer Fly Guy ‘Dai, or one Tendai Maraire. Familiar folk will know Butterfly’s ability from his Digable Planets days. He drops wisdom and life philosophy with a slice of otherworldliness, sort of a wise, funky figure. With Shabazz Palaces, he has abandoned his funk and shed his bonds to earth, assuming the role of the wise, universe-traveled, alien from endless space.

Tendai, who had before on debut Black Up [2011] crafted beats deeply influenced by his homeland of Zimbabwe with a tinge of psychedelia, has moved in a more intense direction with Lese Majesty [2014], one that could perhaps be called a car-crash of Flying Lotus psychedelia and Zimbabwean instrumentation thrown into an anti-gravity chamber. If that sounds uncomfortable but enticing, that is because it is. Lese Majesty is a towering obelisk of pathless psychedelia, and through this pathless and ethereal land, luckily, Butterfly is here to half-guide, half-confuse us. Lese Majesty refers to the historical crime of violation of majesty, an offence against royalty. Butler has said Lese Majesty is a sonic attack on the egocentric me-culture of the 2000s, an assault on the modern culture. In this thinking, the violation of majesty would be the blemish of egoism and vanity upon the human experience occurring in our time.

This is a really good game with a great fighting engine. Free download music pc. Extremely deep and technical at high level, this jewel procures a real sensation of power. The Graphics are really good and it must have taken them forever. Has always been among the underdog fighting game series compared to its peers like Street Fighter and. The animations are fluid as you’d expect from a decent 2D fighter, and effects are beautiful.

Of course, whether we consent to this culture or not, we are all influenced by it, and, to be honest, an attack on it is uncomfortable but necessary. In this way, Lese Majesty often times feels like Butler is bushwhacking through a dense aural jungle, clearing a path with machete vocals, grabbing your hand and leading you through this intimidating place. Sure, you are defensive, that is the point- but ultimately you’ve no choice but to follow Butterfly.

Fortunately, “Dawn in Luxor” feels like a slow morning easing you into this journey. Nonetheless, the first word that reaches your ear: FOCUS. This is a heady trip, after all, so buckle up your damn seatbelt. “Forerunner Foray” brings forth beats that help draw the listener further into this intimidating place, and “They Come in Gold” continues that trend. The whole album uses hip hop beautifully as a structure for the music: Rhythm in words and beats create a digestible piece that allows Tendai to go absolutely wild with the ambiance of each piece.

Tracks are textured and dense, chaotically riddled with FlyLo-esque electronic bits, tripped out organ-like and accordion-like notes, and lurching bass. No other piece sounds like it, and it wouldn’t work without the perfect hip hop framework that holds together a terrifyingly disordered auditory world that is never quite tactile. The album really begins to flow quickly after the first three tracks, many two minute pieces blend together into one long track, with the highlight being “Noetic Noiromantics” (I love when Butler opens with “There goes the rain and / Comes in a new light / The strange is strongest / I’ve had the pleasure”, which really just sums up the album). “Ishmael” is without a doubt the most lyrical track. Butterfly delivers sheer poetry, rejecting hip hop culture for his own depthful style. “#CAKE” is the beat climax, “Colluding Oligarch” is a gorgeously percussive piece with Butterfly filtered to sound as if he’s underwater, and “MindGlitch” with “Motion Sickness” (Best viewed as one piece, really) continues to tickle your mind with repetitive, foggy bass flickering about.

The moment the music becomes too much for your orderly mind to handle, Butterfly always manages to pop in at the right time to drop a smooth verse. The trick is repeated often throughout the more ambient, muddled pieces, and it works really well, lending more weight to what Butler says simply because you need something to grasp onto. The last two tracks are honestly quite forgettable, as if Shabazz Palaces were beginning to run out of ideas towards the latter half of the album. Perhaps they couldn’t find a good way to end such a monumentally strange piece of work. Lese Majesty is a hip hop experiment in the form of an attack on our culture at its heart, and as such it is a difficult thing to grasp. The production by ‘Dai is the core of the project, a veritable stab at a new hip hop direction that excites for Shabazz Palaces future.

Butterfly, as always, performs excellently, dropping wisdom and critique in his free poetry fashion. With such a unique approach, missteps are expected, and there are some. The shorter tracks don’t work all that well with the dynamic Shabazz Palaces have going on, and the ending feels rushed and helpless.

“#CAKE” feels like a powerful performance by ‘Dai let down by Butterfly. However, the high points outweigh the lows by far, and the confidence with experimentation is absolutely admirable. Lese Majesty is a new direction for hip hop, not flawless, but executed excitingly well, a worthy listen for any introverted night.
