  • Shabazz Palaces Share 'Ham Sandwich' [LISTEN]

    Seattle experimental hip-hop duo Shabazz Palaces have shared a new track titled "Ham Sandwich," which you can check out below. The brief track is backed by a relatively traditional boom bap beat, along with some wonderfully spacey and psychedelic production flourishes that would make Dan the Automator proud.

Shabazz Palaces shared the song earlier this morning, Dec. 31, through their Twitter account, along with this cryptic message: "Magic Makes the Music More."

When all was said and done however, the staff had managed to narrow a list of 943 albums down to a mere 10. Old standards like Jack White and Beck proved that their status within the music community was intact, and newer, much buzzed about acts including Sturgill Simpson proved themselves worthy of consideration during the previous 12 months.
