Members of Avantdale Bowling Club (Guy Harrison) & members of Yoko-Zuna (Kenji, JY & Swap Gomez) bring another great Tribute, this time to one of the greatest Hip Hop trio of all time, De La Soul.
De La Soul is an American hip hop trio formed in 1988 in the Amityville area of Long Island, New York.
They are best known for their eclectic sampling, quirky lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz rap and alternative hip hop subgenres. Posdnuos, Trugoy (RIP) and Maseo formed the group in high school and caught the attention of producer Prince Paul with a demo tape of the song "Plug Tunin'". With its playful wordplay, innovative sampling, and witty skits, the band's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, has been called "a hip hop masterpiece."
The album was the band's biggest commercial success to date, with subsequent ones selling progressively less well, despite receiving high praise from critics.
The group was influential in the early stages of rapper/actor Mos Def's career. They are the second longest standing Native Tongues group, after the Jungle Brothers. In 2006, the group won a Grammy for their collaboration with Gorillaz on their single "Feel Good Inc."
