This year’s headliner is none other than Digable Planets! Digable Planets burst onto the music scene in 1993 with their Grammy-winning single, “RebirthOf Slick (Cool Like Dat)”, carving out a unique style of jazz-informed hip hop. Shortly after, Digable Planets followed up with their debut album, an ambitious offering that Pitchfork praised as “a world within a world, complete with its own language and monuments.”
