Shabazz Palaces' new album Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star is about a “sentient being from somewhere else” named Quazarz. Ishmael Butler (Palaceer Lazaro) explains:
"I, Quazarz, Born On A Gangster Star, son only of Barbara Dream Caster and Reginald The Dark Hoper - he who rides on light - dreamer of the seventh dream and kissed eternal by Awet the Sun Scented - who far from home I found my same self differents in those constellies that be Dai at my weap-side immediate and all us Water Guild affiliates who revelries in the futures passed recordings and ceremonies flexing resplendent in the Paradise Sportif armor - raising these musics a joy/cry that way into these aquadescentdiamondized ethers of the Migosphere here on Drake world. Welcome To Quazarz."
The release is one of two new albums from Shabazz Palaces. Listen to Quazarz vs. The Jealous Machines.
