Despite their rapid success and recognition, De La Soul continued to prove themselves as one of the most original, authentic, and creative groups in hip-hop.

Their sophomore album, De La Soul is Dead, was released on May 14, 1991. Featuring once again the production of visionary producer Prince Paul, their second album further fanned the flames; landing on charts around the world, receiving a five-mic rating in The Source, and securing Gold status by the RIAA.

To this day, the project is considered one of the group's best albums to date, having left fans with several certified classics like, "A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays," "Ring, Ring, Ring (Ha Ha Hey)," and "Keepin' the Faith." Another absolutely essential slice of Hip Hop history that's been unavailable for some time.
