De La Soul - Paperback

by Dave Heaton (Author)

De La Soul has been an indestructible creative force over the past thirty years. From the nonconformist humor of their Day-Glo debut, 3 Feet High and Rising, to their eventual role as hip-hop elders, the trio is a model of fearless evolution and perseverance. They've toured the globe, worked across genres, and helped to establish the Afrocentric collective known as Native Tongues. De La Soul conveys the scope and depth of their legacy, going behind the scenes to look at how they formed, trace the evolution of their sound over three decades, and discuss why the band still matters today.
