Description:
From 1993 Debut Album: "Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space)".....Digable Planets Myspace:http://www.myspace.com/digableplanetsGet Digable Planets Music:http://www.amazon.com/Digable-Planets/e/B000AQ2AGG/ref=ntt_mus_gen_pel&http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=637259Digable Planets is a Grammy Award-winning American Alt Hip Hop group based in New York City, composed of Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler (from Seattle), Craig "Doodlebug" Irving (from Philadelphia), and Mary Ann "Ladybug Mecca" Vieira (from Washington, D.C.). They were backed by Silkworm, who later embarked on a solo career under the name King Britt.Digable Planets' fusion of jazz and hip hop received excellent reviews and solid sales with the release of its debut album, Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space), in 1993, which was certified gold by the RIAA. The album's lead single, "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)," in 1994 became a crossover hit, peaking at #15 on Billboard magazine's singles chart, earning gold certification by the RIAA, and winning the Grammy award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.Its second album, Blowout Comb, was released in 1994 (see 1994 in music). The novelty of the group's jazz/hip-hop fusion had passed, leading to disappointing sales. The trio soon broke up due to creative differences, as well as the deaths of both of Ladybug's parents due to unrelated illnesses. However, a retrospective album Beyond the Spectrum: The Creamy Spy Chronicles was released in 2005, which included unreleased recordings.The Planets played at BB King's in Times Square, NYC on 10/8/2008 and announced that a new album would be released in 2008.Extended & updated info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digable_Planets
