De La Soul's music catalog makes streaming debut | CNN

When David “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur of influential rap group De La Soul died last month, fans who wished to hear their work on music streaming services would have been unable to do so due to legal and copyright issues. But on Friday, De La Soul’s first six albums spanning from 1989 to 2001 finally debuted on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and similar music services.

Ownership of their music catalog changed hands several times over the last two decades, and Mercer, Mason and Jolicoeur were outspoken about issues they had with the terms of their Tommy Boy contract. But the loss of Jolicoeur has made this moment of success bittersweet for the other members. In a heartfelt tribute to Jolicoeur posted on Instagram last week, Mason wrote, “I’m extremely upset at the fact that you’re not here to celebrate and enjoy what we worked and fought so hard to achieve.
