Who’s cutting onions up in here?! 😭 De La Soul have managed to deliver on so many levels with Cabin the Sky - wordplay, production, joy, leaning into the art of making an ALBUM, insight, maturity and EMOTION. They’re GOATs in any rap convo anyway. This record just cements it.

This shit speaking to my SOUL right now. Imagine being this consistently great at anything in life man, the levels are off the scale. Armand Hammer is past, present and future of hip hop.
