It's a Style Sport stays true to Shabazz Palaces' form in it's daring show of experimental hip-hop and free-form poetry, while revealing a more reflective and upfront side of the Seattle musician. It's a Style Sport finds Butler compiling what he's learned from his storied career into a playful, shimmering portal, again proving himself an artist of chameleonic ambition, fueled by curiosity, courage, and a limitless imagination. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album is the product of a collaborative, communal effort with many of Butler's touring band members: Evan Flory-Barnes on upright and electric bass; Thaddeus Turner on guitar, keyboards, and vocals; Kassa Overall on drums; Gerald Turner on bass and vocals; Marquetta Miller on vocals; and Carlos Overall on saxophone. Butler's longtime friend and collaborator Erik Blood provided instrumentation, production, and mixing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn It's a Style Sport, a visage of Butler's past lives as a rapper and performer is flung up against his contemporary persona, taunting and illuminating. At it's core, It's a Style Sport is an ode to the rap game of years past, when the playfully competitive ambition drove the genre to always outdo, outrun, and out-finesse your peers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALLIANCE","offers":[{"title":"SILVER VINYL LP","offer_id":50782693785817,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50782693818585,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/0858\/4864\/files\/SP_LP.png?v=1792536371","url":"https:\/\/10000hzrecords.com\/products\/shabazz-palaces-its-a-style-sport-lp-cd","provider":"10,000 Hz Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
