De La Soul announced yesterday (November 20) that its forthcoming album, And The Anonymous Nobody is scheduled for an April 29 release.
De La Soul made a post on its Kickstarter page about the album’s progress. More than $600,000 has been raised for the LP through the crowd sourcing website.
“Releasing a record independently has been a real undertaking,” the group says. “In addition to artistic satisfaction, the administrative and executive end had to feel right as well. Side artist clearances and appropriating the best distribution for this project has been just as important. With negotiations complete, we are now working on the plan for our awaited release. Thank you all for your patience.”
The update also says a song entitled “Train Wreck” will be released in December and the album’s first single, “Pain,” featuring Snoop Dogg, is expected to drop in February or March.
