About De La Soul
Artist Biography
When Long Island hip-hop trio De La Soul arrived in 1989 with its debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, the group sounded like nothing else. The patchwork production and clever, goofy humor made it an inventive and gentle presence in a rap landscape largely defined by aggression. De La's output throughout the '90s was formative for hip-hop on the whole, with works like 1991's De La Soul Is Dead and 1996's Stakes Is High providing inspiration that entire generations of other artists would build on. After 2004's The Grind Date, the crew went on hiatus but returned in 2016 with the crowdfunded and the Anonymous Nobody.... In 2021, after years of legal battles over rights and ownership, De La was finally granted control of its masters in 2021. With control over their back catalog, the members made plans to get their classic albums released on streaming services for the first time. But Trugoy the Dove died of congestive heart failure before that could happen. Weeks later, in March 2023, De La Soul's iconic releases were finally made available for streaming, a triumphant moment tinged with mourning.
