Digable Planets - Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space) [1993]


Redoing this because that was fucking pathetic. I discovered this group recently through the movie "Freedom Writers" which used the song "The Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)" in the soundtrack and I dug it quite a bit so I checked it out on YouTube with some other songs like "Nickel Bags" and damn, it's fucking good. Check this out if you dig jazzy/alternative East Coast hip-hop like A Tribe Called Quest. Digable Planets are from Brooklyn, New York but each member is from a different location. Butterfly being from Seattle, Ladybug from Washington, D.C. and Doodlebug from Philadelphia. They began in 1992, have two albums, Reachin' and "Blowout Comb". They broke up in 1995 but reformed in 2005 and are still going strong.
