Shortly after, Digable Planets followed up with their debut album, Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time And Space) , an ambitious offering that Pitchfork praised as “a world within a world, complete with its own language and monuments.” Melding jazz samples, and complex rhymes that touched on everything from the nuances of city life to abortion rights Digable Planets quickly followed up in 1994 with Blowout Comb , a bold and colorful meditation on Black liberation. While the album did not initially attain the immediate commercial successes of Reachin ’, the 13-track sophomore opus has gone on to age beautifully, influencing future generations of hip hop heads, young jazz musicians, and Afrofuturists.
