Rap veterans De La Soul are back in the scene with the first single ‘Get Away’ from their upcoming album You’re Welcome. The song samples the intro from Wu-Tang’s album Forever and so much was the inspiration that they decided to add “The Spirit Of The Wu” in the feature section. Listen to the song below and get ready for You’re Welcome, impacting this Fall.
“I’ve always loved the ‘Intro’ on Disc Two of Wu-Tang Forever – this erie sample with no beat, that they only talked over,” De La Soul’s Posdnuos tells Rolling Stone. “I stumbled on the original sample while crate digging one day, took it straight to the lab and added drums. The feel is definitely gritty, hard and sounds like a Wu record, so out of inspirational respect, we included featuring ‘The Spirit of the Wu’ in the song title.”
