Shabazz Palaces Return Ahead Of The New Year To Dress Down Crooked Cops & Police Brutality With New Song "Ham Sandwich."

Shabazz Palaces - "Ham Sandwich"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Shabazz Palaces resurfaced just ahead of the new year to address police brutality and dress down crooked cops on the new track "Ham Sandwich." The track stands on the sturdy shoulders of the classic drum break and channels the urgency of revolutionary cuts like Public Enemy's "Bring The Noise" and The Roots' "Panic" while retaining the otherworldly signature and inherent cool Shabazz Palaces fans have come to expect. Dense with buzzing subs and ghastly effects, "Ham Sandwich" finds frontman Palaceer Lazaro levitating as the Palaces broadcast their indictment of the pigs from a perch somewhere up above the fray. Check the track below to listen to "Ham Sandwich." Purchase the Lese Majesty LP via iTunes. Stay tuned for more from Shabazz Palaces.
