Lemar And Dauley®

Just in time to give thanks to some hip-hop legends, our musical collaborative project with Mick Boogie and Terry Urban releases today! LE DA SOUL: 20 years of De La Soul!

Inspired by 20 years of greatness from hip-hop's most consistent group, De La Soul, this project unites the cream of the crop in hiphop… including old school legends (Phife, Camp Lo and Skillz), current hitmakers (Talib Kweli and Kardinal Offishall) and future stars (U-N-I, Tanya Morgan and Tabi Bonney) to remake their favorite De La classics.

Originally stemming from Mick Boogie's popular VH1 Honor Roll mixtape last year, we worked with our favorite artists and producers to create an astounding 20 remakes!  One for every year of De La history!

Lemar And Dauley, Mick, Terry and The Press Play Show would like to thank and salute Pos, Dave and Mase for 20 years of making history!

Looks like 2009 is the year of De La! First, they release their new album distributed through Nike exclusively on Itunes, begin their anniversary tour, L&D prepare its tribute mixtape with both DJs Mick Boogie & Terry Urban and recently Frank 151 captures a definitive perspective of the groups twenty year career. The issue will reveal rare photos, interviews and even hand written lyric sheets! Dope collectable for any fan!

Had dinner with Mick Boogie and Terry Urban earlier this week to discuss the Le Da Soul Mixtape we are collaborating on in homage to De La Soul. We met up in Brooklyn and together with producer Mike See, the project began to really take shape. In fact, we practically got 1/3 of the project in the bag in less than 2 days, which is crazy! Im definitely excited about this tape as we are going to really offer a great model on how to put projects together independent of a label and with brands you trust, but thats to be discussed in the near future. 

Great to see the appreciation across the board for De La Soul. With all the new music we intake daily via the internet, we tend to over look some classic music and artist that shape the culture and sound we openly share. We at L&D often take it upon ourselves to keep history and contemporary culture within arms length, so it was dope to see UK publication, Front Magazine, acknowledge our commitment.
