About this event
Grammy-winning hip-hop trio Digable Planets brings its signature blend of jazz-infused beats, smooth rhymes and laid-back grooves to Omaha. Revisit the group’s ’90s classics and settle into a night of effortlessly cool, genre-bending hip-hop.
Who's playing
Digable Planets is the pioneering hip-hop trio of Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler, Craig “Doodlebug” Irving and Mary Ann “Ladybug Mecca” Vieira. The group broke through with the Grammy-winning single “Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat)” and built a lasting reputation for jazz-infused beats, intricate rhymes and an easygoing, unmistakably cool approach to hip-hop.
What to expect
At The Waiting Room, the Omaha stop is framed around Celebrating 30 Years of Blowout Comb, Digable Planets’ landmark second album. Expect a night rooted in the group’s ’90s classics, from the polished swing of their early hits to the deeper, socially conscious textures that helped Blowout Comb endure with hip-hop fans, jazz musicians and Afrofuturist listeners.
Why go
This is a chance to hear one of hip-hop’s most distinctive groups in a room built for close-up live music. For Omaha listeners who connect with jazz samples, relaxed grooves and thoughtful lyricism, Digable Planets at The Waiting Room offers a focused look at a catalog that still sits between classic rap, soul-jazz atmosphere and forward-looking experimentation.
