This special release marks the 20th anniversary of The Grind Date, De La Soul’s seventh studio album originally released in October 2004 and features production by Supa Dave West, Dilla, 9th Wonder, Madlib and the Jake One produced MF DOOM track Rock Co.Kane Flow. Note: Only the CD RE-Issue has two new tracks. Still rising after all these years. 20th anniversary pressing of The Grind Date on deluxe vinyl with bonus track "Shoomp" featuring Sean Paul! With De La in top form and an all-star production team, this album is a must. As their seventh studio album, this is also their most consistent and satisfying effort in recent years. Give ample credit off the bat to their production team which includes themselves along with Supa Dave West, J Dilla, Madlib, 9th Wonder and Jake One - there's nary a flat track on here. From the ridiculous, tempo-shifting sickness of "Rock Co.Kane" to the pumped up funk slaps of "Verbal Claps," and the uplifting energy of "Church," De La leap into The Grind...
