QUESTLOVE ON DE LA SOUL: "WE HAVE THE POWER" TO MAKE ALL 6 ALBUMS DEBUT IN THE TOP 10

De La Soul's first six albums are finally set to arrive on streaming services, on March 3. The announcement was a long time coming, preceded by years of tussling with their old label and lawyers to regain their masters. So when the news was announced, it felt like a win not just for the groundbreaking group, but for Hip-Hop.

One of the loudest celebratory voices has been Questlove, who went on Instagram yesterday (Feb. 9) to express how excited he is about the win and urge fans to "support the soul" to help De La's catalog hit the top 10.

"This is my life man," he wrote. "March 3rd cannot get here fast enough. I’m buying all 6 [De La Soul lps 10 times over EACH. We owe it to them. & the fact that they took a stand & won their masters. For all of us complaining about the quality control in hip hop—-NOW is the time to vote with our dollar. We got the power to make all SIX of these NOT ACCESSIBLE DIGITALLY (& in some cases ever) in 25 years records to debut in the top 10. Spread the word y’all ... cop the wax the cassette the cd (they got 8track too I’ll take it) the colored vinyl, the 45s, the tshirts……whatever…..Support the Soul."

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.

Influenced by trailblazers like Joyce Kennedy,…See More
