De La Soul is planning a mixtape that could feature beats from DJ Premier and Pete Rock.
“Right now we’re just accumulating beats,” De La’s Dave says to XXL. “[DJ Premier and Pete Rock] have been sending us beats. No real idea of what the theme is gonna be, the theme behind the title [Premiem Soul On The Rocks], what that’s gonna be, if it’s gonna be skits, if it’s gonna be songs, remakes, whatever it is. Right now we’ve just been accumulating beats and waiting for Premier to handle some stuff as well.”
This year was the 25-year anniversary of 3 Feet High And Rising.
Earlier this year, De La released Smell The D.A.I.S.Y. which was made with J Dilla beats.
