WIN: VIP TICKETS TO SEE DE LA SOUL AT THE ELECTRIC BEACH FESTIVAL
US hip hop legends, De La Soul are heading to Newquay on Sat 28 July for one of only a handful of UK shows this year. The American hip hop trio formed in 1987 on Long Island, New York and are best known for their eclectic sampling, quirky lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz rap and alternative hip hop subgenres. With its playful wordplay, innovative sampling, and witty skits, the band’s debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, was considered a hip hop masterpiece and contained hits such as ‘The Magic Number’ and ‘Me, Myself and I’.
The band has won numerous awards including a Grammy and more recently, collaborated with the Gorillaz on their third album, as well as working to create a series of tracks for the Nike+ Sport Music series available via iTunes. In April this year, the group released De La Soul’s ‘Plug 1 & Plug 2 presents… First Serve’ with very little promotion, but the album was released to positive reviews and a tentatively named eighth album, ‘You’re Welcome’ is in progress.
De La Soul are headlining the Electric Beach Festival at Watergate Bay and are supported by The Nextmen, The Scribes, Backbeat Sound system and many more acts. Tickets and more info from
