<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">With the release of <b><i>Black Up</i></b><i> </i>last month,
<b>Shabazz Palaces </b>have made major strides in shifting the paradigms of contemporary hip-hop towards previously unimagined grounds. <u><a href="http://noisey.com/" title="http://noisey.com/">Noisey.com</a></u> caught up with the reclusive duo to discuss
their roots in the Seattle music scene, and their alignment with <b>SubPop Records</b> for their first full-length release: the critically lauded
<b><i>Black Up</i></b>. The footage here not only includes the candid interview, but exclusive clips from the band's high energy set at Seattle's Neumo's venue giving fans insight into Shabazz's creative flow, but a rare glimpse at what it's like to see the
band explode on stage. Let us know if you want any follow-up on what the hell this band is up to cuz it’s big big big bright bold and bombastic shit. And in the meantime you can post this as your very own - we give you SHABAZZ PALACES of Seattle on Noisey:<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
