Brooklynvegan.com reports that the Digable Planets will be touring this fall...

...but without MC Lady Bug. Nevertheless, the substance of the tour is less Digable Planets and more the solo projects by Cee Knowledge (DoodleBug) and Ishmael Butler (Butterfly). Cee Knowledge has his Cosmic Funk Orchestra and Ishmael has his Shabazz Palaces. Both projects deserve greater attention and respect. Indeed, Shabazz Palaces still stands as my favorite hiphop work of the year.


Sadly, the tour will not visit our town—a town, by the way, that Macklemore describes in such loving terms in a track, "The Town," on The Unplanned Mixtape.

that's too bad they won't be stopping in Seattle - esp since Ishmael Butler is from Seattle.
