S2 E1 De La Soul's "De La Soul is Dead" x Willie Nelson's "Stardust" - Fall
Manage episode 442746710 series 3564767
Kicking off the season is a super-sized seasonal episode about fall!
First up - the second album from rap group De La Soul. We'll talk about the variety of styles across the album, threaded together by the signature De La Soul charm and wisdom. This self-aware and self-referential group was a big part of Julius's back-to-school fall world, and now Danny has become a dedicated customer of the De La Donut Store.
Then we go back into the Willie-verse and play around amongst the stars. This vibey album is something Danny always spins when the weather gets cooler. We'll get into Willie's inspirations that helped shaped this album and what it was like releasing an album of old standards in the middle of the outlaw country craze.
