De La Soul is an American hip-hop trio formed in 1987 in the Amityville area of Long Island, New York. Known for their eclectic sampling, quirky lyrics, and contributions to jazz rap and alternative hip-hop subgenres, they caught the attention of producer Prince Paul with their demo tape. Their debut album '3 Feet High and Rising' is considered a hip-hop masterpiece. As original members of the Native Tongues collective, their output throughout the '90s influenced hip-hop and are now cult classics. After a hiatus, they returned in 2016 with 'And the Anonymous Nobody.' Unfortunately, original member Trugoy passed away shortly before the release.

De La Soul's individual aliases include Dave Jolicoeur (Trugoy The Dove/Plug Two), Kelvin Mercer (Posdnuos/Plug Won), and Vincent Mason (Pasemaster Mase/Maseo/Plug Three).

Rumors suggest that De La Soul may release a tenth album produced by Pete Rock and DJ Premier.

Back In Stock

The group's third studio release, Buhloone Mindstate released on September 21, 1993,&nbsp;

saw the group evolve into a new sound as they continued to grow stylistically and musically.There were several moments on the album which proved the band had matured. "I Be Blowin'" was a departure as the track was an instrumental featuring saxophone playing by Maceo Parker. The introspective "I Am I Be" showed de la Soul at their most self-referential to date. "Long Island Wildin'" was a collaboration with Japanese hip hop artists Kan Takagi (Major Force)and trio Scha Dara Parr (SDP). The album's first single, "Breakadawn", used a sampleof Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help It" and Smokey Robinson's "Quiet Storm". de LaSoul collaborated for the first time with Gang Starr's Guru on "Patti Dooke", andfemale MC Shortie No Mas who was prominent on many tracks on the album andshowcased particularly on "In The Woods". The album ended with an old school Biz Markie collaboration called "Stone Age".
