Doing As De La Does with Maseo/ The past 20 years has been a turbulent battle for celebrated hip-hop collective, De La Soul, as they fought for the rights to own and distribute their music.

Telling us the tale of it all is DJ Maseo, who sat down with us to speak on longevity, the celebrations, and the legacy of De La Soul.
