De La Soul - The Grind Date (20th Anniversary 2xLP Splatter Vinyl)

De La Soul is back—but did they ever really leave? After delivering their seminal debut 3 Feet High and Rising in 1989 with the production genius of Prince Paul, the New York City-bred trio of Posdnuos (Pos), Dave and Maseo went on to further impact Hip Hop culture with five more groundbreaking albums: De La Soul Is Dead (1991), Buhloone Mindstate (1993), Stakes Is High (1996), Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump (2000) and AOI: Bionix (2001). But once the digital age exploded in the late '90s, De La Soul's celebrated catalog was unavailable to stream. As the decades passed, the tight-knit group forged ahead anyway - touring the world, connecting with their adoring fanbase and making music on their own terms. Following 2004's The Grind Date, De La Soul took a 12-year hiatus from making albums but returned with the Grammy® Award-nominate ...And The Anonymous Nobody in 2016. With the demand for unreleased De La Soul music palpable, the cry for access to the other six albums grew louder. Unfortunately, De La Soul was stuck riding a roller coaster of stalled negotiations, dashed hopes and dead-end conversations with their old label, and the group nearly gave up.
