Performer Information

Few groups in hip hop have left as indelible a mark as Digable Planets. Formed in 1987 in Brooklyn, New York, the trio — Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler, Mariana "Ladybug Mecca" Vieira, and Craig "Doodlebug" Irving — rose to prominence with their 1993 debut Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space). Its breakout single, "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)," hit #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.

Their influence runs deep. Digable Planets helped pioneer the fusion of jazz and hip hop, inspiring alternative hip hop movements throughout the 1990s and beyond. Their smooth sound, intricate lyricism, and cross-generational appeal continue to resonate with fans and artists alike.

Current Band Members

• Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler — Rapper/Producer

A founding member and key creative force, Butterfly shaped the group’s visionary sound and lyrical direction. He’s also known for his later work with Shabazz Palaces, further extending his influence in progressive hip hop. An original member since 1987, he anchors the trio’s signature style.

• Mariana "Ladybug Mecca" Vieira — Rapper

Ladybug Mecca’s distinctive voice and lyrical finesse are central to the group’s cool, jazz-inflected vibe. A founding member since 1987, she’s also released solo work and collaborated widely, bringing depth and character to Digable Planets’ dynamic.

• Craig "Doodlebug" Irving — Rapper

Doodlebug’s fluid delivery and interplay with Butterfly and Ladybug Mecca help define the trio’s seamless chemistry. As a founding member since 1987, he adds a jazz-influenced cadence and perspective that complete the group’s timeless sound.

Their catalog spans fan-favorite cuts like "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)," "Nickel Bags," "Where I’m From," "9th Wonder (Blackitolism)," and "Jettin’." From Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space) to the critically acclaimed Blowout Comb, their music blends boom-bap beats, classic jazz instrumentation, and thoughtful, socially aware themes.

Onstage, Digable Planets deliver an intimate, groove-oriented experience with live musicianship, DJ-driven sets, and improvisational moments. The trio’s laid-back presence, inclusive vibe, and nostalgic energy make every show feel like a celebration — and in major cities, demand often pushes these performances to sell out.
