Digable Planets is a Grammy Award-winning American Alt Hip Hop group based in New York City, composed of Ishmael &quot;Butterfly&quot; Butler (from Seattle), Craig &quot;Doodlebug&quot; Irving (from Philadelphia), and Mary Ann &quot;Ladybug Mecca&quot; Vieira (from Washington, D.C.). They were backed by Silkworm, who later embarked on a solo career under the name King Britt. Digable Planets&#039; fusion of jazz and hip hop received excellent reviews and solid sales with the release of its debut album, Reachin&#039; (A New Refutation of Time and Space), in 1993, which was certified gold by the RIAA. The album&#039;s lead single, &quot;Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat),&quot; in 1994 became a crossover hit, peaking at #15 on Billboard magazine&#039;s singles chart, earning gold certification by the RIAA, and winning the Grammy award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Its second album, Blowout Comb, was released in 1994 (see 1994 in music). The novelty of the group&#039;s jazz\/hip-hop fusion had passed, leading to disappointing sales. The trio soon broke up due to creative differences, as well as the deaths of both of Ladybug&#039;s parents due to unrelated illnesses. However, a retrospective album Beyond the Spectrum: The Creamy Spy Chronicles was released in 2005, which included unreleased recordings. The Planets played at BB King&#039;s in Times Square, NYC on 10\/8\/2008 and announced that a new album would be released in 2008.
