Our Take

In an era of bling and braggadocio, De La Soul returns with "Stakes Is High", an album that not only defies convention but blows it out of the water. Known for their quirky style and innovative beats, the trio delivers once again with a collection of tracks that are anything but your typical hip hop fare.

From the moment the needle drops on the title track, it's clear that De La Soul mean business. The production is top-notch, with soulful samples and intricate beats that keep you guessing at every turn. And of course, the group's trademark clever wordplay is on full display, with lyrics that are both thought-provoking and hilarious.

But what really sets "Stakes Is High" apart is its unapologetic social commentary. In an industry full of empty boasts and materialism, De La Soul isn't afraid to speak their mind on topics like police brutality, racism, and the state of the music industry. It's a refreshing change of pace that reminds us that hip hop can be both fun and meaningful.

Overall, "Stakes Is High" is a triumph for De La Soul, proving once again that they are true innovators in the world of hip hop. So if you're looking for an album that's as thought-provoking as it is entertaining, look no further. De La Soul has got you covered.
