{"product_id":"de-la-soul-stakes-is-high-30th-anniversary","title":"De La Soul – Stakes Is High (30th Anniversary)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDe La Soul's \u003cem\u003eStakes Is High\u003c\/em\u003e captures the group at a crucial turning point—older, sharper, and completely locked in. Released in 1996, this 4xLP 30th Anniversary Edition features newly remastered audio, the original album, instrumentals, remixes, and rare recordings that have never been widely available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album marks their fourth full-length and their first without Prince Paul, opening the door to a tougher, more stripped-back sound led in part by a young J Dilla on the title track. That lead single became one of De La's signature statements, peaking at No. 53 on Billboard's Hot R\u0026amp;B\/Hip-Hop Songs chart, while the album reached No. 4 on the Billboard Top R\u0026amp;B\/Hip-Hop Albums chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights include the \"Stakes Is High (J Dilla Remix)\" featuring Mos Def and Truth Enola, an alternate J Dilla remix, and rare tracks such as \"Chanel No. Fever\" and \"I Can't Call It.\" Stakes Is High remains a vital listen because it hears De La Soul confronting the mid-'90s head-on, with wit, frustration, and a deep sense of artistic confidence. From \"The Bizness\" to \"Itzsoweezee (HOT),\" the album balances soulful production and clear-eyed commentary in a way that still feels fresh decades later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fans of: Common, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chrysalis Records","offers":[{"title":"Box Set","offer_id":61999472935180,"sku":"RMM10351","price":61.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4459\/3932\/files\/unnamed_3.jpg?v=1785265068","url":"https:\/\/12-bar.com\/products\/de-la-soul-stakes-is-high-30th-anniversary","provider":"12 Bar Music and Social","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
