De La Soul - De La Soul Is Dead
Another absolutely essential slice of Hip Hop history that’s been unavailable for some time.
Despite their rapid success and recognition, De La Soul continued to prove themselves as one of the most original, authentic and creative groups in hip-hop, with the release of their sophomore album, De La Soul is Dead on May 14, 1991. Featuring once again, the production of visionary producer Prince Paul, their second album further fanned the flames; landing on charts around the world, receiving a five-mic rating in The Source and securing Gold status by the RIAA. To this day, the project is considered one of the groups best albums to date, having left fans with several certified classics like, "A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays", "Ring, Ring, Ring (Ha Ha Hey)" and "Keepin' the Faith".
A note from Chrysalis Records:
‘Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the passing of David Jude Jolicoeur. Known to fans as Trugoy the Dove, he helped define hip-hop for generations as one pillar of the seminal hip-hop trio De La Soul. We were lucky to have so closely witnessed his remarkable talent. More than that, we are grateful for his friendship. From our Reservoir family to his De La brothers, his friends and family, and his fans–we send our deepest sympathies. RIP Dave.’ 🕊️
