One of Hip Hop’s hall of fame groups is headed back into the studio to drop more gems for the people…and YOU might be the next guest feature! De La Soul Launches A Kickstarter For Their New Album–their first in 11 years!!!
3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul Is Dead, and Stakes Is High are all classic albums in the canon of the culture, to this day bringing sounds, elements, and a swag that was all their own and pioneered way beyond the Native Tongues era. The Long Island natives have just announced the upcoming release of their latest project and the strategy to get the funds up. De La Soul Launches A Kickstarter For Their New Album which is the latest in what’s become a string crowd-funding approaches by artists since TLC successfully exceeded their goals on the platform, even receiving donations from A-List stars and legends.
While many disagree with the crowd-funding strategy of platforms like this and argue setting up your own independent site with the same capability is smarter–especially when you’re a legend and your name carries more weight–one thing no one can be mad at is a come-back. De La Soul Launches A Kickstarter For Their New Album and sure maybe they’re not going the savvy route of a Nipsey Hussle or even tech-savvy like a Curren$y, but hey, moves are being made.
The coolest part of De La Soul Launches A Kickstarter For Their New Album??? The donation prizes!
“As with all Kickstarter projects, donations come with special prizes. There are the requisite shirts, physical copies of music and concert tickets, but there are also some more alluring kickbacks. One lucky fan will spend a day in the studio with De La Soul, enjoying a private listening session and then recording a skit with the group that will appear on the album. The price tag? $7,500.”
