Blowout Comb
Digable Planets is a hip hop trio with origins in Brooklyn. Consisting of members Butterfly, Doodlebug, & Ladybug Mecca, Digable Planets was one of the most critically acclaimed groups of the newly christened "Alternative Rap" genre. Their first album "Reachin" recieved immense critical acclaim, popularized by the classic single "The Rebirth of Slick(Cool Like Dat'). With their second release, Blowout Comb, largely continuing the formula of their first album. On Blowout Comb, the group itself produces the whole album, using a variety of jazz anthems to paint the musical canvas. The result is a largely laid back, smooth album, perfect to lay back to. You
know you're in for a treat when you hear the sample of Roy Ayers "We Live In Brooklyn, Baby" for the amazing track "Borough Check", which pays homage to Brooklyn. My favorite beat on the album, however, is the beautiful "Jettin", which contains a keyboard sample from the legendary Bob James. Amazing. Blowout Comb is an album that must be heard by anyone with an interest in A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, De La Soul, or The Pharcyde. The beats, combined with the smooth lyrics of Ladybug, Doodlebug, & Butterfly make for a truly unique hip hop album.
