Sub Pop's speaker-denting avant hip-hop collective Shabazz Palaces will play Mad Planet on Wednesday, April 4, the local music blog Seizure Chicken announced today. Last month the blog, which is co-sponsoring the show, crowned the group's 2011 full length Black Up its favorite album of the year. The album is a sonic feat and a testament to creative reinvention, a far cry from group leader Ishmael Butler's much softer work for the jazz-rap trio Digable Planets.
Tickets for the show, which will also include classic hip-hop from the Dope Folks DJs, go on sale Monday through Battlecry Milwaukee.
