Prince Paul On Working With De La Soul Again: “I’ve Only Been Waiting 30 Years For This Reunion”

Producer and DJ Prince Paul has returned to working with legendary hip-hop trio De La Soul, 30 years after producing their first three albums.
New music from Prince Paul and De La Soul is coming. On Wednesday (December 7), the hip-hop producer posted an image of a composition book with “De La 2022” written on the cover, teasing a new release from the iconic trio.

“This might have been one of the most eventful years I’ve had in some time,” Paul wrote as the caption. “An unexpected highlight was was the opportunity to revisit and work with De La Soul once again. I really want to thank them for believing in me once more to get the job done.”

The producer then added a list of thank-yous, including a posthumous shoutout to late producer and musician Don Newkirk, who died in late November.

Sparoh’s “Panama” Delivers a Powerful Message of Confidence and Creative Freedom

Sparoh is an Atlanta-based artist creating music at the crossroads of melodic trap, alternative pop, and punk-fueled rebellion.
