The Story
Digable Planets is a hip hop trio from the United States known for their distinctive blend of jazz rap and alternative hip hop.

Their standout track, "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)," exemplifies their laid-back style, merging clever wordplay with mellow beats that invite listeners to groove and reflect.
