Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
De La Soul are back with their new album, Cabin in the Sky, which will be released on November 21. This is their ninth studio album and their first in eight years. Although the track listing has not yet been announced, it is known that a number of legendary artists participated in the recording: Nas, Killer Mike, Common, Black Thought of The Roots and Yukimi of Little Dragon. Of particular importance is the involvement of Trugoy the Dove, the founder of the band, whose death in 2023 was a test for De La Soul.
Work on the album began last winter, with a focus on transferring the energy of Trugoy the Dove. "Cabin in the Sky" is an attempt to reflect on the pain of loss and find joy, as Posdnuos says. The album is not only personal therapy, but also a kind of celebration of the band’s heritage. Earlier, the album “And the Anonymous Nobody...” earned De La Soul its first Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album, confirming their impact on the music landscape.
