De La Soul

De La Soul is a New York based trio whose members Posdnuos, Trugoy and Maseo
created the hip hop masterpiece 3 Feet High and Rising, initially released on March
3, 1989. The group is best known for their eclectic and innovative sampling, quirky
lyrics and their contributions to the evolution of jazz rap and alternative hip-hop
subgenres. The band won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Collaboration for their
song “Feel Good Inc.” with The Gorillaz in 2005. In 2015, De La Soul raised over
$600,000 on Kickstarter from fans to independently release their album And the
Anonymous Nobody…, which was their first #1 on the Rap Albums chart and was also
nominated for a Best Rap Album Grammy.
