HOMEBASE, SPOT and Simplon have joined forces to bring hip hop legends De La Soul to Groningen. This successful hip hop trio became a household name in the nineties with hits like Me Myself And I, Say No Go and Ring Ring Ring (Ha, Ha, Hey!).

From their very first album, Three Feet High And Rising, De La Soul became renowned for their congenial and harmonious fusion of rap, jazz and pop. De La Soul was also widely seen as one of the leading groups – together with A Tribe Called Quest and The Jungle Brothers – behind the Native Tongues movement, with their strong dependence on Afrocentric lyrics and jazz rhythms.
