De La Soul & Prince Paul Promotional Archive [Bundle 1]
An archive of promotional and personal material connecting Prince Paul to De La Soul, the group whose sound he helped define through signature eccentric, sample heavy production style
At the heart of this bundle lies a personally signed Prince Paul promotional photograph. Accompanying it is a CD copy of De La Soul's 1996 album Stakes Is High: recorded during the period in which Paul and the group parted ways creatively, it stands as the first De La Soul album made without his involvement, marking a clear turning point in both his career and theirs.
Prince Paul first crossed paths with De La Soul as a teenager, and later went on to produce their first three landmark albums, 3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul Is Dead and Buhloone Mindstate. Issued by Tommy Boy Records, this photograph captures the producer at the height of that legacy.
Together, these items trace the arc of Prince Paul's relationship with one of hip-hop's most important groups, from collaborator and mentor to witness of their evolution beyond him.
Included in this lot
