Shabazz Palaces - Swerve... The Reeping of All That Is Worthwhile (Noir Not Withstanding)

Here is the closing track from the highly anticipated Shabazz Palaces (at least I'm highly anticipating it and I know a few of my fellow Gods are as well), Black Up set to drop June 28.

The song closes with a chant that originates from The Last Poets whose name oddly enough is taken from a poem by the South African revolutionary poet Keorapetse Kgositsile.  And we have come full circle.
