At just 54 years old, Dave’s death came as a major shock to fans and artists around the world, though, a few years earlier, he had revealed his health issues with congestive heart failure, which forced him to wear a portable defibrillator. Less than a month before the 3/3 release date, the news came that band member David Jolicoeur-known by his nicknames Trugoy the Dove, Plug Two, and Dave-had passed away. But the breakthrough agreement that was set to finally get De La Soul’s music out there again, offering a new beginning and opening them up to a new generation of fans, has now become a legacy project.

“We can’t believe this day is finally here,” the astonished trio said in a statement. They even settled on an auspicious date for the long-awaited release of their music on streaming and download platforms-March 3, referencing the “three is the magic number” refrain of one of their most popular hits. After years of legal wrangling and record-label spats, the group finally announced in January that an agreement had been reached. The beloved hip-hop trio had been languishing in musical purgatory for the past couple of decades, trapped by an archaic legal dispute which allowed rights clearances for their samples in physical media, but not digital downloads or streaming. 2023 was set to be a banner year for De La Soul.
