Mick Boogie & Terry Urban present Le Da Soul
Everyone should know at least one song by De La Soul. Regardless of whether you do, or don’t, De La Soul has been a fixture of the hip hop community for quite some time. They’ve collaborated with everyone from Redman to the Gorillaz and in homage of the 20 years of dopeness this group has dropped, mixmaster extraordinaires Mick Boogie and Terry Urban present Le Da Soul: 20 years of De La Soul.
What I’m most excited about is that I personally know a handful of artists and producers on this record and I’m so happy to see them getting their shine. Make sure you check it out.

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, 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! This project was sponsored by clothing company Lemar and Dauley, makers of the now infamous Le Da Soul teeshirt.
Mick, Terry and The Press Play Show would like to thank and salute Pos, Dave and Mase for 20 years of making history!-Press Play Show
