De La Soul: De La Soul Is Dead version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in USA in publishing company Chrysalis in cooperation with AOI Records on 12. May 2023.

"De La Soul Is Dead" is the second studio album by the American hip hop trio De La Soul, released on May 14, 1991. The album marks a significant departure from the upbeat tone of their debut album "3 Feet High and Rising," presenting a darker and more introspective sound that reflects the group's response to their sudden fame and the expectations that came with it. The cover art features a broken flower pot, symbolizing the death of the D.A.I.S.Y. Age (an acronym for "da inner sound, y'all") aesthetic that they had been associated with. The album features a variety of eclectic samples and skits that continue De La Soul's reputation for innovation within the hip-hop genre. Critically acclaimed for its complex lyrics and mature themes, "De La Soul Is Dead" challenged the boundaries of hip-hop music at the time and has since been recognized as a classic, with tracks like "A Roller Skating Jam Named 'Saturdays'" and "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)" standing out as notable singles.

Album spans genres Hip Hop and Conscious Hip Hop.
