"Cabin in the Sky lives in that space between loss and light," Posdnuos said in a press release. "It's about the pain we carry and the joy that somehow still finds us. This album is therapy and celebration at the same time. There's a vulnerability in these songs, because everything we've been through has brought us to this moment, to this album, honoring what we've lost and lifting up what still remains. That duality. That's life, and that's De La."
""We had some music, of course, with Dave's voice on it, like 'Good Health,' that was produced by Supa Dave West," Posdnuous said, " 'The Package,' which was produced by Pete Rock, which was originally supposed to be a part of an idea for an album we had called Premium Soul on the Rocks that would have been exclusively produced by Pete and Premier. And then we had the song 'Pattycake,' which was produced by Jake One. That was just something we had did a while back.""
Cabin in the Sky is a 20-track De La Soul album scheduled for release on November 21 via Mass Appeal. The project follows the 2016 album And the Anonymous Nobody... and is the group's first since the 2023 death of founding member David Jude Jolicoeur (Trugoy). The lead single, "The Package," was produced by Pete Rock. Additional production credits include DJ Premier and Super Dave. Guest appearances include Killer Mike, Yukimi from Little Dragon, Common, Nas, and Black Thought. The album cover was created by artist Hebru Brantley. Work on the album resumed in February 2025 after an approach from Mass Appeal.
