Slithering straight outta Luxor: the new Shabazz Palacesswallows the competition whole.

Aside from the out-there-soundscapes (you can get lost in there for hours of attentive listening and surprisingly agreeable head-nodding), there are lines upon lines to slowly digest as you go along the sonic journey of 'Lese Majesty'. While other rappers are freezing up on ice-watch metpaphors and slinging sawed-off shotpuns, these guys are "throwing cocktails at the Fuhrer" or wooing your woman with lines like "You're a birdsong visualised".

Essential.
