Review: An Album with a Colourful Finish

De La’s latest project follows the passing of Trugoy the Dove, prompting rap fans to wonder what the group’s dynamic might sound like. This question was tackled early on with commentary on the philosophy of rebirth — with thoughts on the afterlife permeating the album to peel back the clouds, asking burning questions.

It’s a monogram with a trail of elements that reenergise their classic sound, but also takes a detour, partnering with high brow lyricists like Nas on ‘Run It Back’ and Black Thought on ‘En Eff’. The production roster is equally impressive, with sonic plates from DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Nottz, Supa Dave West, Posdnuos, and Dave.

The Verdict

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Cabin In The Sky is an enjoyable listen with upbeat productions featuring classic DLS bars and flows. It feels just like one of their classic albums released during their peak. It will certainly strike a cross generational chord in the culture thanks to its demonstrably well rehearsed deliveries, replete with considerable wordplay. It’s got something — it’s diverting, leisurely, but doesn’t quite meet the high striker target.

The album can be streamed on all major platforms and is available as a double vinyl release.
