De La Soul – 3 Feet High And Rising
Year/Genre: 1989 Hip-Hop/Alternative Rap
Matrix #: RMM‑046‑1
Condition: Brand New (sealed 2×LP, 180 g) comic insert
Description:
De La Soul’s debut 3 Feet High and Rising emerged from New York’s vibrant hip-hop scene and dropped on February 6, 1989. Produced by Prince Paul, it fused playful sampling, jazz-tinged beats, and quirky skits to pioneer alternative hip-hop during the DAISY Age. Tracks like “The Magic Number,” “Me Myself and I,” and “Buddy” flipped funk, soul, and even psychedelic rock into a celebratory, socially uplifting sound—capturing a cultural pivot away from gangsta rap’s grittier edge. This sealed pressing, with its vivid comic-style insert, is essential for any vinyl collection tracing rap’s innovative, sample-driven golden era.
