I can’t thank you enough! May God bless the soul of Bobby Caldwell!
It was around 88’ when one of my best friends brought back a Red Alert tape from NYC. On it was a song called “Plug Tunin” from a group called De La Soul. It was one of the most innovative, fresh, unique songs & sounds I had ever heard. This group would then drop their album “3 feet high and rising” and it changed my life. They would become one of my favorite groups of all time and one of the greatest groups of all time. One of MCs was Trugoy, the Dove who I would get to know as Dave. All I needed to hear was his flow on Afro Connection at the Hi 5 to know he was one of our greatest innovators and stylish with a way with words MCs that hip hop had never seen or heard. In 96, De La would give me one of the greatest gifts of my life when they featured me on their song the “Bizness” (which I believe Dave produced). They changed my life again! They took me in to live with them in Long Island (forever Love to Maseo and Tina). The way @plugwondelasoul , @inmaseowetrust Dave treated me was like a brother. They took me on tour with them. It was my first trip to London. Just being on a song with De La gave me a stamp of the highest level. And during that process I formed a real friendship and brotherhood with each member including Dave who would show me dope indie movies like “Kids“ and take me to get the Jamaican patties out in LI. I studied Dave and his creativity and how he worked and functioned. I actually bit one of his nicknames and made it a song. The Sun God. The truth is he has been one of the greatest influences and inspirations in my life. I will miss you brother. You are loved beyond words and I am praying for all your family which is our family. Love you Dave! GOD Bless your Soul.
3 years ago we lost this beautiful soul. I ain’t forget or get comfortable! We still honor and love you Breonna Taylor. We will also continue to fight for Justice for all!
Opening night was special. One of the most beautiful times getting to celebrate Between Riverside and Crazy and all who are a part of it. GOD is great.

Peace Family. I’m inspired by the day of action for parole justice in New York. Let’s call on lawmakers to pass Elder Parole and Fair & Timely Parole now! #ParoleJusticeNY http://Bit.ly/ParoleJusticeAction
The most points in NBA history is an amazing feat. But I’m also impressed with the longevity and consistency! Congrats @kingjames

Again, there aren’t enough words that I could use to thank @wearedelasoul for what they did for me. Last night was an epic celebration for Dave, De La, Hip Hop & culture! It was legendary! I’m so proud to play a lil tiny part in a culture and genre that changed and impacted the world! Make sure you discover or rediscover De LA Soul all weekend and beyond! Thank you @plugwondelasoul & @inmaseowetrust S/O to @amazonmusic @purplephy27 & @ida_kay for a job well done! 📷 @johnnynunez & @soulbphotos
I’m so honored and excited to be a part of this great piece of art. I’m equally excited for y’all to see it. “Silo” is special. It’s got something! @appletvplus #silo
“I’m chilling with the queen, her name is Gayle King”: @common has many talents — among them is his ability to freestyle on the spot. He showed off his skills with a quick rap about #CBSMornings, his favorite morning show 🌞
This is unacceptable! Get well Ralph! #ralphyarl
This is some of the best news I’ve gotten in a long time! For the past 20 years, music fans haven’t been able to experience one of the greatest groups in hip hop on streaming platforms. On March 3rd 2023 that wait will be over. @wearedelasoul is one of the groups that raised me. They inspired me. They embraced me! And they still do to this day. Check em out on 3/3/23 on @amazonmusic . I guess 3 really is the magic number! Congrats to my brothers @plugwondelasoul @inmaseowetrust & Dave!
It’s almost here! Check out the new trailer for #SILO coming this May on @appletvplus
Man @coodierock and @channelzerotv went back with this one! As you can see, I didn’t have the word vegan in my vocabulary. 😂 Good times!
This is how you impact the community that raised you! Congrats and THANK YOU @derekd1971 for caring and being an inspiration to us all! Proud to call you brother!
It’s the last weekend but you can still have that Broadway experience no matter where you are on the planet. You can get tix and stream it at lolst.org @2stnyc
