Back to the ‘Grind’: De La Soul Revisits Overlooked Classic Album, Share Unreleased Song ‘Bigger’
De La Soul will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their overlooked classic 'The Grind Date' with a new reissue featuring unreleased tracks.
Coming March 21 is an expanded edition of The Grind Date, the 2004 album that found them ditching the skits and working with J Dilla, along other producers; Flavor Flav, MF Doom, Ghostface Killah and Common also made cameos. The deluxe edition is set to include instrumental versions of three of its songs — “Verbal Clap,” “Shopping Bags (She Got From You)” — and two unreleased tracks from the sessions, “Bigger” and “Respect.” As Moore recently told Rolling Stone, “When you’ve been fighting against an industry for 35 years, then naturally anybody coming along that you feel is trying to take from your legacy, you’re going to make them the enemy.”
