De La Soul are not in support of a recently released book that’s centered around the beloved hip-hop group.
On Thursday, De La took to social media to denounce High and Rising: A Book About De La Soul, a new book that was released last week. Written by esteemed music journalist Marcus J. Moore, High and Rising is a “stunning cultural biography” that “tells the story of one of the most influential rap groups of all time,” while weaving in Moore’s “deeply personal coming-of-age story about his journey through life with De La as a backdrop,” according to a book synopsis.
“We’ve been receiving congratulatory messages about a book titled High and Rising. However, we want to make it absolutely clear: this is an unauthorized book, and we are not connected to it in any way,” De La wrote in the social media post.
