De la Soul
R&B / Rap
Since their 2001 release of AOI: Bionix, De La Soul has kept busy readying their new label, AOI Records, their successful and self-owned SpitKicker tour and website (spitkickers.com) and two successful Apple Computer campaigns. With the release of The Grind Date, the group reflects on their anticipation about putting out their first album in three years. Maseo states, "To get to the point of releasing this new album it’s been a grind, but as a group we have never stopped working. Over the past three years we have been busy traveling the world taking hip hop to places like Prague, Ireland, and Poland, as well as continuing to play in the mainstays such as London and the U.S. We have also been busy designing a new limited edition shoe with Nike called the ‘De La Dunk’ that is due to arrive in stores in the fall, will be guest speakers in a class at NYU speaking on hip hop, as well as working on our new album."
