240 pages ; 24 cm

Formed in Long Island in 1988 by Kelvin 'Posdnuos' Mercer, Dave 'Trugoy the Dove' Jolicoeur and Vincent 'Maseo' Mason, De La Soul burst onto the scene with the release of their groundbreaking 1989 album 3 Feet High & Rising, an 'anything goes' hip-hop masterpiece. Between their dusty drums and obscure samples, De La's debut was received as a new masterwork from a bygone era of Black experimentation. The first book about De La Soul, 'High and Rising' is a stunning cultural biography of the era-defining hip-hop trio that touched millions of lives and changed rap forever.
