"Reachin (A New Refutation of Time and Space)" is the debut album by Alternative hip hop group Digable Planets. It was released on September 27, 1993 by Pendulum Records and Elektra Records. The album was produced solely by Digable Planets' Butterfly and features raps by each of the group's members. There are no guest performers on "Reachin"', but the production is heavily sample based. Butterfly samples artists including Kool & the Gang, James Brown and Herbie Hancock to provide the album with funky and jazzy beats. The lyrics tend to cover a wide scope of subject matter including the right to abortion ("La Femme Fetal"), the coolness of Digable Planets ("Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat))" and the similarities between cannabis and funky music ("Nickel Bags").
The album became famous for its fusion of jazz and hip hop, as well as its hippie-like lyrical content. The single "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)" became a hit in 1993, breaking into the Top 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1994. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA in 1993.
