De La Soul's legendary debut album, originally released in 1989, is finally reissued on CD and vinyl.
It marked the first of three full- length collaborations with producer Prince Paul, which would become the critical and commercial peak of both parties.
Critically, as well as commercially, the album was a massive success, and contains the singles, "Me Myself and I", "The Magic Number", "Buddy", and "Eye Know".
Sampling artists as diverse as Hall & Oates, Steely Dan and The Turtles, 3 Feet High and Rising is often viewed as the stylistic beginning of 1990s alternative hip hop (and especially jazz rap).
