De La Soul – 3 Feet High and Rising (2LP / 180g / Black / Comic Insert)

Product Description

3 Feet High and Rising is one of the most influential hip-hop albums of all time. Originally released in 1989, De La Soul’s debut shattered conventions with its playful, intelligent lyricism, dense sampling, and vibrant, positive energy — helping define the Native Tongues movement and reshape alternative hip-hop.

Produced largely by Prince Paul, the album blends funk, soul, jazz, and psychedelia into a joyful, forward-thinking sound that stood in stark contrast to the harder edge of late-80s rap. Tracks like Me Myself and I and Eye Know became instant classics, while the album as a whole remains a landmark of creativity and innovation.

This 2LP 180g black vinyl edition includes the original comic-style insert, faithfully recreating the artwork and presentation of the original release. A must-have for hip-hop fans, vinyl collectors, and anyone exploring the roots of alternative and conscious rap.

A true cornerstone of hip-hop history.
