All of the hip hop trio's early hits will be released on digital streaming services from 3 March.
At long last, De La Soul's back catalogue, including classic albums like 1989's 3 Feet High and Rising, is to be made available for streaming.
Complex licensing issues around De La Soul's use of hundreds of samples have held back the move until now. "Our contracts on those early albums said specifically 'vinyl and cassette,'" he said. "The wording wasn't vague enough to lend itself to [new] music technology. 3 Feet High and Rising, which was their debut album, reached number one on Billboard's top R&B/hip-hop album chart and often appears on lists of the greatest albums of all time.
"De La Soul didn't just open the door to the possibility of being different. They kicked it in," wrote journalist Vikki TobakBut the record's heavy use of samples also caused headaches for their record label. An interlude called Transmitting Live from Mars used elements of The Turtles' 1969 song You Showed Me without permission, resulting in a lawsuit that cost the band more than $100,000 in damages.
