The music industry’s support for De La Soul has resulted in a much-needed negotiation meeting to go down. The hip-hop group has updated fans on its publicized streaming rift with Tommy Boy Records.
On Monday, De La released a statement crediting music pioneers like JAY-Z and Nas for helping make a business gathering go down.

Throughout the past few days, the group has kept fans updated on the status of its catalog finally going digital.

According to the label, Tommy Boy has postponed De La Soul’s catalog from entering the streaming world.
“Because Tommy Boy has not had the opportunity to sit down together with De La Soul and finalize our negotiations — something we’ve wanted to do for months — we have decided to postpone the digital release of their catalog scheduled for tomorrow,” the statement reads. “We know fans are eager to hear these amazing recordings and we are hopeful for a quick resolution.” (Variety)
Last week, various hip-hop artists have come to De La’s defense amid the group’s claim of not receiving fair profits off the upcoming digital streams.
