Just days after Talib Kweli announced that De La Soul had acquired its back catalog (story below), the group took to Instagram Live (embedded below) to confirm reports. After some technical difficulties, Dave, Posdnuos, and Maseo broadcast to over 3,000 fans in real-time.
Along with Faith Newman and Reservoir staff, the group thanked Nas and the Mass Appeal team, their management, and music industry vet Chris Atlas. Of the group’s battle of more than two years with Tommy Boy Records and its founder, Tom Silverman, Dave said, “The past is the past.” The group did allude to the label’s recent sale to Reservoir, suggesting that they were paid for the group’s art—
art that they now finally own.
