De La Soul ft. The Spirit of the Wu – Get Away (Audio)

De La Soul

When a legendary rap group is inspired by another legendary rap group, you know it’s gonna be all gravy. If you’re wondering where The Spirit of the Wu came from, this is what De La Soul’s Posdnuos shared with Rolling Stone.

“I stumbled on the original sample while crate digging one day, took it straight to the lab and added drums. The feel is definitely gritty, hard and sounds like a Wu record, so out of inspirational respect, we included featuring ‘The Spirit of the Wu’ in the song title.”

The Wu-Tang-inspired “Get Away” will be on De La Soul’s upcoming album, You’re Welcome, out later this year.
