De La Soul is a Grammy Award-winning hip hop group from Amityville, New York. Best known for their eclectic sampling and quirky, surreal lyrics, they have made great contributions to the evolution of the jazz/rap subgenre. At the time of its 1989 release, De La Soul's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, was hailed as the future of hip hop. With its colorful, neo-psychedelic collage of samples and styles, plus the Long Island trio's low-key, clever rhymes and goofy humor, their music established a distinct and respected tradition in the hip hop world. Part of the mid-2000s hip-hop movement, the Cool Kids are both an internet and live show phenomenon. The duo of Mickey Rocks and Chuck Inglish met in 2005 after Mickey came across some of Chuck's beats online and liked what he heard. In 2007, based on their material posted on their MySpace site, the group caught the attention of Pitchfork, who later invited them to play at their summer festival. This led to an opening spot on M.I.A.'s solo tour and their debut EP, The Bake Sale, which was released in January 2008.
