Shabazz Palaces MC Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler, best known for his work with Digable Planets, is back with another taste of his forthcoming album, The Don of Diamond Dreams. 

This time, it’s in the form of a video for “Chocolate Souffle,” one of 10 new tracks on the project. Directed by David Shields and James Nugent, the psychedelic video finds Ish behind the lens of a smart phone as he records himself rapping with various effects peppering each frame.

“My phone’s really not that smart/My phone’s really not that smart,” he repeats.
