Legendary Hip Hop crew De La Soul will return with a new album this year, according to De La’s Maseo. In a recent interview with Pedestrian.TV, Maseo noted that the crew was working on new material, adding that fans can expect new projects from the crew soon. De La partnered with Nike in 2009 to release Are You In?.
“Definitely looking to put out a new album,” he noted. “We’re definitely gonna come out with Art Official Intelligence III – the fans have been yearning for that. So we’re gonna put out music and we’re gonna continue to tour. That’s all we do!”
He also added that De La would spend a greta deal of time touring. Maceo, Dave and Posdnous have already spent a considerable amount of time on the road, most recently joining The Gorillaz and Little Dragon for a series of dates in Australia.
“That’s what I’m here to do,” Maseo noted. “I don’t have an acting career. I don’t think I even want one.”

They should record a track with DJ Premier. I’ve been dying to hear Pos and Trugoy over a Premo beat for ages!
