hip hop, jazz rap
De La Soul, the iconic Long Island hip-hop trio, revolutionized the genre with their 1989 debut "3 Feet High and Rising." Known for their innovative, sample-heavy production, clever wordplay, and positive and quirky "D.A.I.S.Y. Age" philosophy, they became key members of the Native Tongues collective. Their influential career has spanned decades, consistently pushing creative boundaries and maintaining a unique voice in hip-hop.
