The hip-hop group released “The Package,” the new single from their 10th studio album, out Nov. 21
De La Soul will release Cabin in the Sky, their first studio album in nine years, on Nov. 21. The new record is also their first since the 2023 death of founding member David “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur, one-third of the New York hip-hop institution.
Their 10th LP will follow 2016’s And the Anonymous Nobody, which earned a Grammy nod for Best Rap Album. The new musical offering includes production by DJ Premier, Super Dave, Pete Rock and features Killer Mike, Yukimi from Little Dragon, Common, Nas and Black Thought. The LP’s first single, “The Package,” is out today.
“Cabin in the Sky lives in that space between loss and light. It’s about the pain we carry and the joy that somehow still finds us. This album is therapy and celebration at the same time. There’s a vulnerability in these songs, because everything we’ve been through has brought us to this moment, to this album, honoring what we’ve lost and lifting up what still remains. That duality. That’s life, and that’s De La,” said Posdnuos in a statement from a press release.
The upcoming album is the sixth release of label Mass Appeal’s “Legend Has It” series, which highlights seven celebrated artists including Slick Rick, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, Big L, De La Soul and Nas/DJ Premier.
“The music on this record is not old, just seasoned. It’s what we call adult hip-hop: something rooted in the culture but speaking to where we are now. The beauty is that it still connects with the younger heads too. They can feel the honesty, the craft, and that De La Soul DNA running through it. We’re bridging generations with this one,” said Maseo of the new record.
