De La Soul is a New York-based trio comprised of Posdnuos, Trugoy, and Maseo, who created the hip-hop masterpiece "3 Feet High and Rising", initially released on March 3, 1989. Renowned for their eclectic and innovative sampling, quirky lyrics, and contributions to jazz rap and alternative hip-hop subgenres, the group garnered acclaim, including a Grammy win for Best Pop Vocal Collaboration for their song “Feel Good Inc.” with The Gorillaz in 2005 and a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album for "And the Anonymous Nobody…," In 2023, sadly after the passing of member Trugoy (Dave), they released their first 6 albums to all streaming services.
