Digable Planets is an American hip-hop trio formed in 1987, composed of members Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler, Mary Ann "Ladybug Mecca" Vieira, and Craig "Doodlebug" Irving. Known for their fusion of jazz and hip-hop, the group's distinct sound is marked by laid-back rhythms and socially conscious lyrics. Their 1993 debut album, "Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space)", garnered significant acclaim, earning them a Grammy Award for the single "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)". Despite disbanding in 1995, Digable Planets' influence on the jazz-rap subgenre is significant, and they are often cited as pioneers in the field.
