Read moreDe La Soul Is Not Dead takes it all the way back to Amityville, Long Island—a suburban hip hop mecca where three highly creative individuals and high school classmates linked up with DJ Prince Paul and shopped a demo tape to Tommy Boy Records. The label that brought the world “Planet Rock” would soon have another smash hit on their hands with “Me Myself and I” and De La Soul, the so-called “Hippies of Hip Hop.” But little did they know what the future would hold. Many of De La Soul’s early classics are difficult to find on digital music platforms due to complex sample clearance issues. As a result, their impact on the development of hip hop is felt from the group’s Native Tongues affiliates through Kanye West, Pharrell, and Kendrick Lamar. It’s been twenty-five years since “De La Soul Is Dead,” the group’s iconoclastic sophomore album, and twenty years since “Stakes Is High,” their first project without Prince Paul at the helm. These two pivotal releases positioned the group on the career trajectory that leads them to this extraordinary moment. Last week De La Soul’s latest release, “And The Anonymous Nobody,” topped Billboard’s Rap Albums Chart. Funded by a half-million-dollar Kickstarter bonanza, the group’s first new album in over a decade features diverse guest spots from Snoop Dogg to David Byrne. What better time to look back at the legendary trio’s rise through the rap game? Don’t sleep on these Long Island cats. They’re definitely onto something.

Not, like, Frank Ocean-long, but still—the two-and-a-half years between 2014’s surprise goodie Cilvia Demo and his dope latest LP “The Sun’s Tirade” left fans fiending for fresh lines from ‘Zay. And now he’s stacking up even more bars. The Chattanooga native stopped by Genius’ Brooklyn HQ for the second installment of our “Freestyle” series, dropping an original rhyme that shouts out Master P, A Tribe Called Quest and his son, Yari.

Read moreTwo days before Isaiah Rashad’s debut album “The Sun’s Tirade”, Rashad stopped by HNHH’s New York office to chop it up. After detailing his clarinet repertoire, which began in his childhood with TI’s “24’s” and Memphis Bleek’s “Round Here,” Rashad explained how he conceived the title “The Sun’s Tirade.” Originally, he planned to call it “White Walls” — “like a new apartment” — but ultimately decided that he didn’t want the title to sounds like a “fresh start.” Rashad briefly touched on his drug issues and how he overcame addiction. “I think the turning point probably was when my mom saw me drunk,” he recalled. “She saw me and it was kind of weird. Me and my mom smoke and shit, but we don’t drink, so it was kind of strange.” Finally, he reflected on his membership in TDE and how his labelmates inspire him to be the best rapper he can be. “Even if I wanna sing or play the clarinet, do whatever – [I want to] be a top rhymer at all times…. Creatively, they are the most embracing group of people I can imagine.”
