De La Soul went to NPR to celebrate a few milestones: its latest album, Cabin in the Sky , and year three of the De La Soul catalog back under the members' control. This Tiny Desk releases, which is known as De La Soul Day . It's all a bit bittersweet as David Jolicoeur (aka Trugoy the Dove , aka Plug Two ) isn't here with Pos and Maseo .  Dave passed away in 2023, just weeks before the group's music was finally made available on streaming platforms after a decades-long legal battle. Throughout the planning process for this show, both remaining members were candid about what Dave would and wouldn't approve of creatively, but remained open to ideas to honor him. The result was a thoughtful balance of classics like "Stakes is High" and "Breakadawn" with highlights from Cabin in the Sky .

Bay Area ambassador E-40 moves with the energy of an up-and-coming emcee, but he's been around a minute.
