De La Soul- Eye Know
De La Soul’s David Jolicoeur, aka Trugoy the Dove, passed away yesterday at the age of 54.
This song is from the band’s groundbreaking debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising. The album, as well as the rest of the group’s catalogue, will finally be available to stream on March 3rd, after years of legal disputes over sample clearances.
Rest in Peace.
