Digable Planets
Blowout Comb (2lp)
Emerging from hip-hop's brief and fruitful collision with jazz at the turn of the 1990s, Digable Planets' second album is a love letter to Brooklyn's Fort Greene neighborhood. On 'Blowout Comb,' they made a proto-crate-digging approach feel completely organic, and integrated with their broader goal of deepening rap's connection to music history.
