Shabazz Palaces, "Blastit" music video

Shabazz Palaces - Blast It (from the Village Beat film, Tough Bond) from Sub Pop Records on Vimeo.

Some visuals to go along with one of my favorite new artists, Shabazz Palaces (previous post with track streams here). His debut is out May 31st.

From the label, Sub Pop:

“This video contains footage from the upcoming documentary by Village Beat titledTough Bond — a film about kids sniffing glue to survive street life in Kenya’s disappearing villages and exploding urban slums.

Original documentary score was provided by Shabazz Palaces.

Shabazz Palaces Sampler by subpop

With a flow as relaxed as Cudder not because he's lazy, but because he's actually talented. Nonchalantly tongue-in-cheek dark like Tyler the Creator, but with more conscience and less randomness. All over downtempo, electronic beats with more than a hint of dubstep.

Out on Sub Pop May 31st.
