De La Soul // Get Away feat. the Spirit of Wu

 A week ago, if someone posed the outrageous question, "What would happen if De La Soul rapped over a Wu-Tang Track?" Perhaps the only possible answer would have been contained somewhere in the New Testament of the Bible. But now we have our answer, and what an excellent answer it is."Get Away" is De La Soul's latest release and the iconic rap group have drawn inspiration from  accompanying Hip-Hop giants, the Wu-Tang Clan. De La Soul's Posdnuos came across the intro track whilst crate digging and took it straight to the lab before adding drums. What followed was the smooth, liquid rap style of De La Soul over a typically old skool Wu Tang record, providing a dark gritty edge to the track. Despite naming the song "Get Away" the group decided to include in the title "Featuring the Spirit of Wu" out of inspirational respect. The track will be on De La Soul's forthcoming album You're Welcome which will be released on  AOI Records sometime in Autumn and if they have started as they mean to go on, we can't wait! Take a listen to their new tune below.
