Wassup folks!

The checklist is shrinking and we're finally getting a glimpse of the finish line. It's obvious that we won't make our targeted September due date, but you can't rush the art. We're digging deep and exhausting every creative possibility we can to make music that'll be worth the wait.

Album update: We recently had the Kickstarter backer, Dave Goldblatt, come in to record a skit for the album, and of course we have footage to share. We think his experience in front of a mic really helped for a great performance. Check out the clip of us in ATL, hanging out and getting the work done. The album is 98% recorded. Mixing is in process... Mastering and manufacturing will be next and the then BAM, you'll receive it. Thank you for your continued patience and continued support... now t's back on the grind.

Peace,

DLS

      Dear De La Soul.
      I'm not sure if you will read this . I hope you do.
      I have a suggestion for the album. It would be amazing if all the names of the backers were printed
      in fine print on the back (or somewhere) on the album as part of its design. It would be pretty unique. What do you think?
      Peace and love

      Hey guys, there's a reason we all backed this without hearing a thing... we believe in your art. Do what you gotta do! I know this is going to be well worth the wait.
