It’s rightly been celebrated recently that De La Soul’s groundbreaking debut album 3 Feet High And Rising is 30 this year. Less remarked upon is how the anniversary means the trio’s members are now all either aged 50 (Trugoy The Dove), about to reach the milestone (Posdnuos hits 50 in August) or able to mock their greying bandmates for being so ancient (Maseo doesn’t reach his half-century until March 2020).
