Digable Planets is a Grammy Award–winning hip-hop trio formed in the early 1990s by Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler, Mariana “Ladybug Mecca” Vieira, and Craig “Doodlebug” Irving. Known for their innovative blend of jazz-infused beats, poetic lyricism, and laid-back flow, they redefined the sound and spirit of alternative hip-hop. Their groundbreaking debut album *Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space)* and its hit single “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)” earned critical acclaim and mainstream success, cementing their legacy as pioneers of jazz-rap’s golden era.
