Wat hebben ze in de tussentijd dan gedaan in de studio's?

Instead of sampling from other artists’ work—and getting in trouble with the “sample police,” as De La Soul says—the trio has created over 200 hours of original sounds and vibes.

Over the last three years, we've collaborated with some of LA's finest studio musicians and recorded them in free-styled, unrehearsed, jam sessions. They played everything from banjo to upright bass, sometimes up to a dozen musicians at once; simply allowing sounds to integrate. We did 90% of these recordings in one of LA's most classic studios, Vox. We chose Vox because we wanted our recordings to have that creamy analog warm mixing board sound that the old records our parent’s once played had. With over 200 hours of sounds, and vibes, equal to about 250 to 300 full-length vinyl LPs, it's time that we get to the work.

Pos and Mase shared that their upcoming 10th studio album is called Cabin In The Sky. They explained that the title is an homage to the 1943 all-Black musical of the same name, which stars Lena Horne, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington.

"We’re working and working [on the album], and I come across this movie," Pos explained. "And I’m like, ‘Yo, this title is crazy!’ Cabin in the Sky. Immediately, I felt Dave."

David Jolicoeur, aka Trugoy The Dove, passed away in 2023 following years of health issues. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2017.

“When we lost him… I came and got Maseo out of the hole,” Pos shared, according to HipHopDX. "We were all broken, but I kinda took on that role in Beat Street where I was like, ‘Yo, man, we gotta treat Dave like Ramon — we gotta keep him alive, we gotta celebrate him.’

“Of course, we have songs with Dave on it but — yo, for me, and I’m sure there are people here who are spiritual and understand what I’m saying, it feels like, ‘Dave’s here for me. He’s here.’ There are times where I’m writing rhymes and I’m getting goosebumps ’cause I feel like Dave would be saying, ‘Yo, that’s dope!'”
