Release date: Apr 7, 2023, US
Quickly becoming one of the most revered, game-changing groups in hip-hop, De La Soul’s penchant for jazz-infused productions and a playful approach to lyricism granted them an instant place amongst the hip-hop greats. Their classic 1991 album, originally released on Tommy Boy, marked a much-awaited return on UK label Chrysalis. Deftly weaving together spoken-word storytelling, witty skits, and innovative sampling, there’s a reason why this album is lauded as a keyplayer in the evolution of jazz rap and alternative hip hop genres. Featuring certified classics from the celebrated De La Soul catalogue such as ‘A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays,’ ‘Ring, Ring, Ring (Ha Ha Hey)’ and ‘Keepin’ the Faith’, this is a must have for any fans of the 90s East Coast scene.
