=== 1994β1995 ''Blowout Comb'' and breakup === The group's second album ''[[Blowout Comb]]'' was released in 1994. The album was noted by critics as a stark departure from the previous album, being darker, less hook-oriented and more overtly political in its references to [[Black Panther Party|Black Panther]] and [[communist]] imagery. Writing for ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'' in December 1994, Craig Marks declared it "... a beguiling, demanding, damn near revolutionary follow-up."<ref name="answers.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.com/1994/12/best-albums-1994/140226-digable-planets-blowout-club-web/|title=Digable Planets, Blowout Comb (Pendulum/ERG)|last=Marks|first=Craig |date=December 31, 1994 |website=Spin Magazine|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180701223245/https://www.spin.com/1994/12/best-albums-1994/140226-digable-planets-blowout-club-web/|archive-date=July 1, 2018}}</ref> ''Blowout Comb'' features guest appearances from artists [[Jeru the Damaja]], Sulaiman, and [[Guru (rapper)|Guru]] of [[Gang Starr]]. In the same year, the group appeared on the [[Red Hot Organization]]'s compilation album, ''[[Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool]]''. The album, meant to raise awareness and funds in support of the [[Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS|AIDS epidemic]] in relation to the African-American community, was heralded as "Album of the Year" by [[Time (magazine)|''Time'' magazine]].<ref>{{Cite magazine|date=December 26, 1994|title=The Best Music of 1994|language=en-US|magazine=Time|url=http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,982060,00.html|access-date=May 26, 2020|issn=0040-781X}}</ref> The band subsequently disbanded in early 1995 citing "creative differences".
