De La Soul Prepare 30th Anniversary Edition Of ‘Stakes Is High’

Clash · 6 hours ago

De La Soul are set to reissue their fourth studio album, "Stakes Is High", to mark its 30th anniversary. The record holds a significant place in the group's catalogue as their first without longtime producer Prince Paul, instead featuring early studio contributions from J Dilla, and is regarded as both a critique and a celebration of hip-hop culture during its commercial peak.

The anniversary edition will be released on 23rd October and will include a substantial amount of bonus material, such as a J Dilla remix of the title track featuring Mos Def and Truth Enola, full instrumental versions of the album, and rare cuts including "Chanel No. Fever" and "I Can't Call It". It will be available digitally and across several physical formats, including a 4LP hardcover edition, a 2CD hardcover edition, and exclusive vinyl variants through Amazon, HHV and Fat Beats/Get On Down.
