Product description

Bursting onto the scene in 1989, De La Soul's debut album, "3 Feet High and Rising," is a pioneering work that seamlessly blends jazz, hip-hop, and East Coast rap into a cohesive and innovative sound. Released on March 3, this 23-track masterpiece is a testament to the creative genius of De La Soul and their producer, Prince Paul. The album's eclectic mix of samples, clever lyricism, and playful humor set a new standard for hip-hop, making it a timeless classic.

"3 Feet High and Rising" kicks off with the iconic "Intro," followed by standout tracks like "The Magic Number," "Me Myself and I," and "Buddy." The album's unique production and De La Soul's distinctive flow make each track a standout, from the laid-back vibes of "Cool Breeze on the Rocks - The Melted Version" to the energetic beats of "Do as De La Does." With a duration of over an hour, the album is a rich tapestry of sounds and ideas that keep the listener engaged from start to finish.

The album's cover art, featuring the three members of De La Soul as babies, has become as iconic as the music itself, symbolizing the group's fresh and innovative approach to hip-hop. "3 Feet High and Rising" is not just an album; it's a landmark in the history of hip-hop, influencing countless artists and shaping the genre's future. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to De La Soul's music, this album is a essential addition to any music collection.

This 2023 Reissue 2LP set is pressed on 180g vinyl.

  • Pink Records Delight

    5 out of 5 stars
    Pumduxa94January 9, 2026United KingdomπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

    Absolutely thrilled to own this! The records are perfectly flat and the audio quality is crystal clear. Not magenta at all, more like Hubba Bubba bubblegum PINK in my opinion. Truth be told, I'm really fond of this color.

  • Audio Quality Shines Despite Warp

    4 out of 5 stars
    sqgeuhocDecember 20, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    The audio quality is fantastic! Disc 2 has a bit of a warp but it's not that bad.

  • Top Pick, Great Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    awr2733December 18, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    In my opinion, this is my top pick. It's a looker and sounds fantastic. There's a bit of warping, but it's not as severe as some folks have said. It doesn't mess with the playback at all.

  • Limited Edition Questions

    5 out of 5 stars
    ZivruxSaqqirkagDecember 10, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Rough Trade still has a good amount of the green edition in stock, it keeps selling out and then restocking, making me question if it was truly limited to 3000 copies or if it just didn't gain much traction due to all the other versions. It's a bummer about the poor quality cover scan and the lack of a gatefold, but apart from that, it's a pretty decent pressing.

  • Cool Breeze Disgrace

    Good grief, what's become of Cool Breeze on the Rocks? Absolute disgrace.
