De La Soul is one of Hip Hop’s most influential groups without a doubt. So it’s only reasonable for De La to sample another iconic group’s tracks, Wu-Tang Clan, and use it as the basis for their new track Get Away. The sample for this track is taken off of the intro for Disc Two of Wu Tang’s, Wu-Tang Forever. De La’s newest album, You’re Welcome, is due late this fall.

Every Spring in Southern California, legends and up and coming artists assemble at the Paid Dues Music Festival hosted by Murs and Guerilla Union to put on one of the biggest shows of the year for Hip Hop’s loyal fans. This year, the Paid Dues lineup didn’t hold out on fans, and the fans responded with the masses, with over 25,000 fans filling up the San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino, California. From Mobb Deep, Talib Kweli, Jean Grae (the only female artist on the lineup) to Joey Bada$$ and Flatbush Zombies, the span of decades covered for Hip Hop fans was very diverse. Headlining the event we’re most recent breakout artists like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Black Hippy, and Dom Kennedy. With a lineup like that, it’s safe to say that the day was constantly active on any of the three stages that Paid Dues had to offer.

Us here @ CSNW+ enjoy the Holidays just as much as the next person, overcrowded stores, long lines everywhere, figuring out what perfect gift to buy for that special person.
