De La Soul-For Your Pain & Suffering EP

Long Island legends De La Soul‘s long awaited full length, And the Anonymous Nobody was due for release Friday, April 29th 2016, which would have been the legendary trio’s first album since 2004’s The Grind Date (there has still been no sign of the Pete Rock/DJ Premier mixtape either) and judging by the EP's cover the new release date for the LP is now August 26th 2016.

Rather than leave fans empty handed, DJ Maseo, Dave and Posdnuos (collectively plugs one two and three) have dropped a surprise EP For Your Pain and Suffering as a thank you to all who contributed to their Kickstarter campaign (De La amassed over $60K from that campaign)

The EP is a Free Download so check it here 

2016 will also see the 20 year celebration of their classic Stakes Is High LP.

CRDS Presents-95 Da Illest Volume 4

aYo! I hope you have been enjoying these compilations and here is the fourth installment of the CRDS Presents-95 Da Illest series, this one is on that ill, hazy late night underground radio vibe.

Lyrical skills over boom bap production consisting of dope vocal clips or cuts, deep and muddy bass lines, fat drums (often classic breaks), horns and ill samples was the recipe back then...enjoy this one and like always, make like the late, great Dilla and Turn It Up!!!
