VIA DX:

De La Soul’s Posdnuos recently took time to speak about the group’s upcoming album, You’re Welcome.

“We have several tracks that are coming together incredibly,” said Pos, according to Entertainment Weekly. Included amongst the songs are “We Are (For the People),” featuring vocals from Chuck D and Flavor Flav (get out those running shoes!), as well as a song titled “We Are God.”

Pos also revealed that the group also hopes to get a feature from Damon Albarn, Blur’s lead singer and mastermind behind the Gorillaz.

De La Soul met Albarn after appearing on the Gorillaz’ 2005 hit “Feel Good Inc.,” featured on their multi-platinum album Demon Days.

In addition, Posdnuos discoled that De La Soul has contributed vocals to two songs so far for the next Gorillaz album, which is tentatively titled Plastic Beach. The working titles for the songs are “Sloped Tropics” and “Electric Shock.” The latter has the same name as one of the Gorillaz demos Albarn debuted on BBC Radio 1 in January of this year.

In related news, De La Soul released a 10-track mix of running music comissioned by Nike titled Are You In?

    One of my favorite Hip Hop groups of All Time. I am constantly rocking them on my ipod.

    They have been around for a while, but in my opinion I think they are underrated.

    Can’t wait for the new CD.

    These kats are always on point.I use to save my lunch money just to buy whatever they put out at the time.They’re from an era when an MC had to come with some original material.The music that’s in todays heavy rotation is straight trash and boring.A true head has no choice but to surf the web to find the good stuff.BET and radio is no help at all.They just don’t care.

    I don’t want to learn some ridiculous dance with a stupid hook.I want to vibe with a chill beat and some well thought out lyrics.That’s Hip Hop and not a game. -Peace

    I still rock “The Grind Date” occasionally, after nearly wearing out the CD after I first got it. It was just so much better than some of the pablum that was on the radio at the time.
