About the Artist

With over 15 years under their belts, De La Soul is one the few long-term success stories in hip hop today. They are simply one of hip-hop's most creative groups. While hip-hop has changed dramatically in the dozen years since De La Soul's introduction into the music world, the trio from Long Island has remained fresh and everlasting, a supreme counterpoint to all of hip-hop's trends through the years. De La Soul is in the unique position of having influenced a generation of hip-hop artists with truly original albums like Three Feet High & Rising and De La Soul Is Dead, and still continuing to resonate with contemporary fans with more recent albums.

It is that versatility, that instinctive need to constantly create, that makes De La Soul who they are. De La Soul. Of the soul. For the people. With The Grind Date, De La Soul has delivered a soon to be hip hop classic. The CD is filled with thought-provoking songs: the title track is a banging ode to doing what you have to do to get what you need; the instant hit "Shopping Bags" takes a look at how men put themselves out there in the world of dating. "Church," which enlists Spike Lee in the intro to give the listener a wake-up call like no one else can, is a "Stakes is High" type of song that talks to people about getting their lives together. "It's Like That" features Bad Boy Carl Thomas and talks about taking the time out to really think about things we overlook to realize how important they are. It in particular identifies with hip hop to ensure people realize that hip hop is more than a paycheck.
