De La Soul's music hit streaming platforms today. Here's a guide for old and new fans:
2023 was set to be a banner year for De La Soul. The beloved hip-hop trio had been languishing in musical purgatory for the past couple of decades, trapped by an archaic legal dispute which allowed rights clearances for their samples in physical media, but not digital downloads or streaming. After years of legal wrangling and record-label spats, the group finally announced in January that an agreement had been reached.
The release of De La Soul’s music, after such a long and arduous battle, should have been an occasion of unbridled joy. Now, it is overwhelmed by sadness. But the best way to honor Dave’s memory is to celebrate the musical legacy he and his bandmates Kelvin ‘Posdnuos’ Mercer and Vincent ‘Maseo’ Mason have left behind.
But now that their entire back catalogue is becoming available, a new generation of fans can get a fuller picture of their remarkable and diverse career. Their signature song “The Magic Number” was already exposed to a new fanbase when it was featured in the Marvel blockbusterin 2021. Now with their music made widely available at last, there will doubtless be even more opportunities for the De La Soul sound to be rediscovered for years to come.
