Shabazz Palaces have announced new record Quazarz: Born On A Gangster Star and shared Thaddillac-featuring track "Shine A Light".
The new song comes with a lyric video directed by Cristina T. Bercovitz and Jonathan Snipes of Clipping.
Knife Knights take production duties on Quazarz, the long-awaited follow up to 2014's Lese Majesty, which sees Shabazz Palaces "tell the tale of Quazarz, a sentient being from somewhere else, an observer sent to Amurderca as a musical emissary to chronicle and explore."

- Shine a Light (ft. Thaddillac)
- Dèesse Du Sang
- Eel Dreams (ft. Loud Eyes Lou)
