- Nas and DJ Premier’s joint album is reportedly slated for release in December 2025, revealed via a Comic-Con flyer
- De La Soul’s new album, set for November, is titled Cabin in the Sky, inspired by a 1943 film
- De La Soul members feel the title is a tribute to the late Trugoy the Dove, who is spiritually present in the album’s creation
A release period for Nas and DJ Premier‘s highly-anticipated joint album has reportedly been revealed.
Statik Selektah took to Instagram Stories during New York Comic-Con to post a flyer with album release dates of Mass Appeal‘s Legend Has It series. Nas and Preemo’s record is slated for a December 2025 drop, while De La Soul‘s album is scheduled for the month prior and Big L’s for October.
At the convention, Posdnuos and Maseo of De La Soul also revealed that the upcoming De La Soul album will be titled Cabin in the Sky — based on the 1943 musical film with Ethel Waters, Eddie “Rochester” Anderson, Lena Horne, Rex Ingram and Louis Armstrong. “We’re working and working [on the album], and I come across this movie. And I’m like, ‘Yo, this title is crazy!’ Cabin in the Sky. Immediately, I felt Dave,” Pos said via HipHopDX.
He added, “Of course, we have songs with Dave on it but — yo, for me, and I’m sure there are people here who are spiritual and understand what I’m saying, it feels like, ‘Dave’s here for me. He’s here.’ There are times where I’m writing rhymes and I’m getting goosebumps ’cause I feel like Dave would be saying, ‘Yo, that’s dope!’”
Nas and DJ Premier’s album and De La Soul’s Cabin in the Sky are set for a December and November release, respectively.
