De La Soul - 25 years Celebration! - CQAF

Type : Gigs

One of the most artistic and creative hip-hop acts ever, this trio from Long Island have had an unquestionable influence since their debut in 1987. It is 25 years since the release of their world-conquering debut album, 3 Feet High And Rising, which sees De La Soul return to the UK for a run of shows.

The seminal group helped mould a jazzier, more thoughtful and colour-drenched mode of hip-hop -combining whimsically irreverent lyrics, social commentary, light rhythm and laid back rhymes. They have gained respect within and outside the rap community with their contributions to hip-hop - inflecting it with touches of many other genres like jazz, classic funk and psychedelia.

Due to this De La Soul are seen as one of the key groups that scythed the path clear for hip-hop to move from underground thrill to appeal to the masses.

We’re rounding of CQAF’s 15th Birthday celebrations with the party of the year.
