De La Soul Is Dead, the group's iconoclastic sophomore album, and twenty years since
Stakes Is High, their first project without Prince Paul at the helm. These two pivotal releases positioned the group on the career trajectory that leads them to this extraordinary moment. De La Soul's latest release,
And The Anonymous Nobody, topped
Billboard's Rap Albums Chart.
