The other week for Valentine's Day De La Soul decided to let go their entire catalogue for free download via their website. That alone was generous enough, but when some fans didn't receive their download in a timely manner, De La Soul offered an apology in song-form for that, "Sorry/Thank You."

Today we hear from the crew yet again, as they pay homage to legendary producer J. Dilla, with the aptly-titled "Dilla Plugged In", where they spit over a laid-back, piano-driven Dilla beat. Listen as they "capture the essence of Dilla with this plugged tune."

The group has three upcoming efforts, they will be dropping the Dilla-produced mixtape Smell The DA.I.S.Y. as well as Premiem Soul On The Rocks produced by Pete Rock & DJ Premier, finally they have an album on the way titled You’re Welcome.

Quotable Lyrics
Shout out to Ma Dukes
Ey yo, gaze at the sight of a method
Dive beneath the depths of a never-ending verse
Gasping and swallowing every last letter
Vocalize liquid holds the quench of your thirst
Reasons for the rhythm is for causes unknown
Different individuals are dazzled by the showbiz
