It’s a Style Sport stays true to Shabazz Palaces' form in its 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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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 its 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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoser Edition Sparkle Starlight Vinyl vinyl version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAhh World (I Won the Alpha Bet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eField Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShow Me Missouri in Mink\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJheri Curl Jump\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeadstock Dude\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTongue in Chic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeliocentric Immortality Manifesto H.I.M.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOlivia According to Touch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMoney Can't Save Your Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrom One Future to Another\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54568403763546,"sku":"SP1715X","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/shabazz-palaces-its-a-style-sport.jpg?v=1786543050","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/pre-order-23-10-26-shabazz-palaces-it-s-a-style-sport-vinyl","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
