3 Feet High and Rising

Product Information

Released amid the 1989 boom in gangsta rap, which gravitated towards hardcore, confrontational, violent lyrics, De La Soul's uniquely positive style made them an oddity beginning with the first single, "Me, Myself and I". Time for a trip down the technicolor road of the Daisy Age with De La Soul’s magnum opus, “3 Feet High and Rising.

UPDATE FROM DISTRO: Due to a manufacturing fault, the magenta LP will be delayed for a couple of weeks at max. The album also features guest appearances from artists such as Damon Albarn, Little Dragon, David Byrne, 2 Chainz and Snoop Dogg.

Feet High and Rising is the debut studio album by hip hop trio De La Soul and was released on March 3, 1989. So innovative and fresh, at the time it blew away every other rap record and even now manages to sound new and groundbreaking.
