Description



About the Book



De La Soul chronicles the story and legacy of the hip-hop trio whose dedication to creative independence yielded a thirty-plus-year career.



Book Synopsis



De La Soul has been an indestructible creative force over the past thirty years. From the nonconformist humor of their Day-Glo debut, 3 Feet High and Rising, to their eventual role as hip-hop elders, the trio is a model of fearless evolution and perseverance. They've toured the globe, worked across genres, and helped to establish the Afrocentric collective known as Native Tongues. De La Soul conveys the scope and depth of their legacy, going behind the scenes to look at how they formed, trace the evolution of their sound over three decades, and discuss why the band still matters today.



Review Quotes




"De La Soul were one of the most uniquely, defiantly nonconformist groups to emerge in the creative free-for-all of the late eighties, not just in hip-hop but in any genre that valued fearless creativity. Heaton's in-depth, career-spanning chronicle of their legacy doesn't just get at what made their music special, but what motivated it-their upbringings, their enthusiasms, their influences, their friends (and rivals)-and in the process, he pinpoints in fine detail every giant step they took in evolving both their art form and their own relationship to a record business that might not have been entirely ready for them. A must-have whether you're just starting to familiarize yourself with one of rap's most transformative groups, or are a longtime fan looking for a reminder of just how and why they meant so much."

-Nate Patrin, author of Bring That Beat Back: How Sampling Built Hip-Hop


"Since their debut, De La Soul has bridged a gap between the old school and the future. Dave Heaton's book takes us on a trip through the decades-long work they've done of carving their own path through the hip-hop landscape, influencing generations of artists and reflecting the very essence of the genre-regardless of the era."

- Lance Scott Walker, author of DJ Screw, Houston Rap Tapes


"As an early entry to the J-Card Press series, author Dave Heaton has written a brief, but meaningful, biography of the titular group in De La Soul, a read that will pull you in and leave you reaching for their records."

-Gerrod Harris, Spill Magazine
