De La Soul - Impossible Mission Part I
Not quite a new album but neither a greatest hits CD, this is a De La mixtape and not a major-label release. For fans of De La Soul this is a must-buy. The album features a great series of narrrations of their classic songs - explaining the history behind each track and the mindframe they were in when they were first recorded.

There's a few unreleased tracks with explanations why they were never released (pretty funny comments on there) and some new stuff in there as well. Priced a bit steep (due to its rarity) but you can find it for as low as $16 by searching around. Highly recommended! A real cohesive De La mixtape and definitely something to keep you baited after The Grind Date and before their next full-length.

Features production by: Oh No (Murs, LMNO), Geology (Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Jill Scott, Bahamadia), Supa Dave West (Phife Dawg, Reflection Eternal, MeShell Ndegeocello), and De La Soul themselves.
