De La Soul announce new album Cabin in the Sky and share new single ‘The Package’

De La Soul have announced the release of their new album Cabin in the Sky, due out on November 21 via Mass Appeal.

The announcement is also accompanied by the new track ‘The Package’, out now.

Cabin in the Sky marks the first album from De La Soul since the passing of founding member David Jude Jolicoeur, aka Trugoy, Dave, and Trugoy the Dove.

Check out the new single ‘The Package’ below:

Cabin in the Sky features contributions from producers DJ Premier, Super Dave, and Pete Rock and from guests Killer Mike, Little Dragon’s Yukimi, Common, Nas, and the Roots’ Black Thought.

“Cabin in the Sky lives in that space between loss and light,” Posdnuos commented on the record. “It’s about the pain we carry and the joy that somehow still finds us. This album is therapy and celebration at the same time.

“There’s a vulnerability in these songs, because everything we’ve been through has brought us to this moment, to this album, honoring what we’ve lost and lifting up what still remains. That duality. That’s life, and that’s De La.”

Speaking to Pitchfork, Posdnuos also said that the writing process of the record was kicked off in February 2025 after Mass Appeal’s Peter Bittenbender approached them about participating in the label’s Legend Has It campaign, which includes seven new albums from iconic rap stars.
