Ready for De La Soul’s version of an egg hunt? Just in time for Easter, the trio has placed 100 vinyl copies of instrumental mixes from its recent mixtape Smell the Da.I.S.Y. in record stores around the U.S., U.K. and Canada.
De La Soul are coming back and they coming back hard! First they gave way their whole catalogue on Valentines Day for free and fans went crazy! Leading to the server even shutting down. Then they made a surprise appearance at SXSW friday night when they joined Damon Albarn on stage! Now the classic Hip Hop group has another gift for the fans in the works! Find out after the jump
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of De La Soul’s “3 Feet High & Rising”, They are back with a new record over a J Dilla beat. Take a listen after the jump!
Well isn’t this a nice little Valentine’s Day gift for all the Hip-Hop heads out there in the world. Legendary rap group De La Soul are offering a free download of their entire music catalog in honor of the 25th anniversary of their debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising. The only catch is that the tunes are only available [for free] for 25 hours. From 11 AM Friday (February 14th) until 12 noon (February 15th), you can head over to their website, click on the album you want for your collection (or all if you want), and they will send you the downloadable link directly to your e-mail. How dope! A stunt like this could only mean one thing: new music from De La Soul is ON THE WAY!
This is going to be something that goes in the history books – I can feel it. LL Cool J is getting a little bit of the rap-bug again, and wants to bring something good to the table. With the next album, “Authentic” coming out sooner than later, he’s decided to announce the Kings of the Mic tour. Who will he have in attendance…Ice Cude (west-side), De La Soul, DJ Z-Trip, and (drum roll please) PUBLIC ENEMY. Some legends all on one stage. That’s hot. Drop down below to get the tour dates and don’t forget to check out the gallery as well.
