De La Soul started up a Kickstarter campaign early on in the year and they only had a goal of $110,000 and received $600,000 from the fans. The album is to be titled “And the Anonymous Nobody” and was supposed to drop back in September but that came and went with no date in site. The group has now spoken up and pushed the release back onto April 26, 2016 and they gave this statement about the delay of the album. “Releasing a record independently has been a real undertaking. In addition to artistic satisfaction, the administrative and executive end had to feel right as well. Side artist clearances and appropriating the best distribution for this project has been just as important. With negotiations complete, we are now working on the plan for our awaited release. Thank you all for your patience.” The first single for the album called “Pain” will be out in February or March so fans have something to be excited about though it is still a little ways off.
