Ishmael Butler On The Legends That Came Out Of Seattle
In this clip, Ishmael Butler reflects on the incredible talent and cultural icons connected to Seattle, including Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Lee and Quincy Jones.
He also mentions Ray Charles, who enjoyed his time in the city and became a central figure in certain parts.
About this episode:
From the Grammy winning sound of Digable Planets to the experimental world of Shabazz Palaces, Ishmael Butler has spent over three decades pushing hip hop forward.
Also known as Butterfly of Digable Planets and Palaceer Lazaro of Shabazz Palaces, Ish joins Jeff Weiss and Free on The Truth Hurts to discuss his career, creative evolution, and musical influences.
He reflects on his early days in Seattle, playing college basketball, forming Digable Planets with Doodlebug and Ladybug Mecca, and the success of “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat),” Reachin’ and Blowout Comb. He also revisits the group’s unexpected 1994 Grammy win and the story behind his unprepared acceptance speech.
Ish also discusses life after Digable Planets, his work as Cherrywine, questioning his future in rap, and how independently releasing Shabazz Palaces EPs led to a deal with Sub Pop Records.
Plus, he shares stories about meeting Herbie Hancock at Flying Lotus’ house, collaborating with his son Lil Tracy, being left off a Seattle hip-hop Mount Rushmore, and the inspiration behind Shabazz Palaces’ new album, It’s a Style Sport.

Digable Planets bring ‘Blowout Comb’ back to life at @palacetheatreyyc 🎶
The influential trio brought their Blowout Comb 30th anniversary tour to Calgary, celebrating an album that has only grown in stature since its release in 1994. Backed by a five-piece band, Digable Planets revisited the record’s jazz-infused funk grooves, giving the music room to breathe.
Toronto, and London-based artist, Mauvey, opened the night as part of three dates on the tour, returning to Calgary after his last visit for Sled Island Music Festival. He spoke about how much he loves performing in Calgary, and his music carries that same sense of connection with the audience

DIGABLE PLANETS – WHERE I’M FROM (1993)
📀 Released in March 1993 as a single
💿 Featured on Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space)
🎧 Produced by Butterfly
📊 Reached #7 on Billboard’s Rap chart
🏆 Digable Planets went on to win a Grammy in 1994 for “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat).”
🦋 Butterfly, 🐞 Ladybug Mecca & Doodlebug brought something different to hip-hop: jazz influences, conscious lyricism, and a sound that was entirely their own.

On the Latest Episode of The Truth Hurts, Ishmael Butler Shares His Unpopular Truth: Perception Isn’t Always Reality.
In this clip, Ishmael explains that he isn’t necessarily someone who believes the time he came up in was better than today. However, he points out that just because someone is recognized as a comedian doesn’t mean they’re funny, and just because someone is involved in fashion doesn’t mean they know how to dress.
Agreeing with Jeff, Ish emphasizes that perception and reality don’t always line up.
