Description

Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by Posdnuos and Maseo of the legendary De La Soul crew, and the room full of hip hop royalty chop it up about De La's upcoming album 'Cabin In The Sky' releasing this Friday under Nas' Mass Appeal Records for their Legend Has It... series. It's their first album in nine years as well as the first project created without founding member Trugoy the Dove, who tragically passed in 2023, and it features unreleased verses from Trugoy, as well as new verses from Nas, Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, Black Thought from The Roots, Common, Slick Rick, and more. They talk about the hip hop world's outpouring of support after Trugoy's passing, the origins of the Native Tongues collective with Q-Tip, their catalogue dispute with Tommy Boy Records, and the possibility of taking legendary rap groups on tour with them... including Fat Joe's Diggin' In The Crates crew.

I'm grateful that I saw De La Soul perform at Bottle Rock on May 31, 2014 plus LL and Phife were backstage. It's amazing that LL saw Phife in a vision then made a classic album with Q-TIP . Peace to Phife and Trugoy
