It's a Style Sport stays true to Shabazz Palaces' form in it's 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 style=\"text-align: justify;\"\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. On 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 it's 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\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cstrong\u003e10\/23\/2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cb\u003eSUB-1715\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e098787171501\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eShabazz Palaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eSub Pop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre \/ \u003cstrong\u003eHip Hop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Super D","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43852131729469,"sku":"HIP-S-098787171501","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/4535062-3688857.jpg?v=1792427729","url":"https:\/\/www.plaidroomrecords.com\/products\/shabazz-palaces-its-a-style-sport-colored-vinyl","provider":"Plaid Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
