"" Cabin in the Sky lives in that space between loss and light. It's about the pain we carry and the joy that somehow still finds us," Posdnuos said in a press statement. "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.""
""The music on this record is not old, just seasoned. It's what we call adult hip-hop: something rooted in the culture but speaking to where we are now. The beauty is that it still connects with the younger heads, too. They can feel the honesty, the craft, and that De La Soul DNA running through it. We're bridging generations with this one.""
Cabin in the Sky arrives November 21 via Mass Appeal as part of the "Legend Has It..." series and serves as De La Soul's first full project since 2016. The lead single, "The Package," includes multiple verses from Trugoy the Dove recorded prior to his 2023 death and features production from Pete Rock. The album collects appearances from Killer Mike, Nas, Black Thought, Common, and Yukimi of Little Dragon, with additional production by DJ Premier and Super Dave. The record centers on themes of loss and joy, pairing vulnerability and celebration while positioning the music as seasoned, intergenerational "adult hip-hop."
