I appreciate how real you are about the past, regretting certain behavior, etc. I may have been sitting near you at that DMC competition! We may have actually met that night, I'm not sure.

I'm super-anxious to get my copies of UGSMAG, too. They're sittin' in Mississauga right now.

My boy is 12 and was very excited to have De La finally be on streaming services, because we've had long talks about their history and record company misadventures. He's heavily into the shit I grew up with along with more contemporary artists. If he's not falling asleep to Pharcyde or Tribe, he's got some bossa nova shit on, which trips me out.

I've got physical copies of the first four albums and The Grind Date, but I'll fully acknowledge the ease and convenience of having them on Spotify (a platform I have quite a love/hate relationship with). This past week at work has been a delight because I've drowned out the wack shit in the office with their catalogue. Someone mentioned that not having them on these platforms made one of the most inventive groups ever practically invisible - not to mention having very little of their physical records available for the past few years - and that's criminal in my mind. I'm stoked that they're being celebrated...it's long overdue!
