Black Up' is the debut album by American hip-hop duo Shabazz Palaces. The experimental release pushes the boundaries of the genre, incorporating tinges of jazz, all with an urban bass undertone. If Bedouins herded beats instead of goats and settled in Seattle instead of the Atlas Mountains, this would be their album.
