De La Soul goes on tour to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut LP "3 Feet High and Rising."
It's been two decades since rap trio De La Soul released their debut album "3 Feet High and Rising," and the group will mark the occasion with a coast-to-coast 20th anniversary tour this summer, dubbed "20 Years and Rising."
The trek gets underway July 23 in San Francisco, before venturing into Canada for a July 26 show in Burnaby, British Columbia, reports Live Daily. The tour crisscrosses the nation, stopping by 16 cities over the course of nearly six weeks, including an Aug. 23 appearance in Toronto. The current itinerary wraps Aug. 30 in Boulder, CO.
For the anniversary tour, De La Soul will be backed by the Rhythm Roots All-Stars, a 10-piece outfit based in Los Angeles.
The hip-hop group's most recent release, "Are You In?," is part of the Nike + Original Run music series and the first new material from the trio in three years. The 45-minute continuous track, which surfaced last month, is only available via iTunes.
