De La Soul’s Trugoy says that the response the group got by giving away its entire catalog for free on Valentine’s Day has encouraged the trio to record and release new material.
“It motivated us even more,” the rapper also known as Dove says during an interview with Billboard. “We’re already in the process of recording two albums, but actually it made us feel like we really, really need to get this done. People are still fans, still really love the music and let’s do it for them.”
The forthcoming De La Soul albums are set to have different sonic approaches. One will feature Los Angeles’ Rhythm Roots Allstars, a live band. The other LP will be sample-based.
Dove also says that the group will be releasing a mixtape soon. It is slated to feature reworked songs, as well as new material.
“It’s just not a mixtape with 11 songs,” Dove says. “There are skits and things. It’s cool. That’s coming out in about a week, and hopefully God willing more De La music. That’s all we do. There won’t be any movies. There won’t be any fashion lines, nothing like that. Just music.”

Exactly. These guys were popular for 3 years. Lil Wayne is popular since 1999. True talent lasts more
Please dude. 3 years? You probably werent even alive when these dudes were popular or in 99 when Lil Wayne was still rocking blue and was the worst in Cash Money. Have a seat.
Really? These dudes are responsible for a whole genre of hip-hop. Anyone calling De La has-beens needs to kill themselves. De La keep pushing out albums. I for one will buy the both when they drop.
