De La Soul – “Action!”
Veteran trio and Native Tongues members De La Soul are back like they never left. After raising a crazy amount of money online for their new album And The Anonymous Nobody, they’ll release it next month. We’ve already heard “Trainwreck” and the Snoop Dogg-assisted “Pain.” Today they come with the dance-funk inflected, chicken grease chord-driven “Action.” It’s a rolling, cascading joint with agile flows. The song is also featured in the latest Angry Birds app update (hence the artwork). I honestly wouldn’t be able to pay too much attention to the game because this is pretty groovy. Listen.
And The Anonymous Nobody is out 8/26. Pre-order it in digital and physical formats.
