De La Soul just dropped a new album "AND THE ANONYMOUS NOBODY...". It's a little over produced with cameos on almost every track but lyrically is just as crisp and honest as ever. Can't knock the De La Soul hustle. Apparently they raised the funds to create the album through fans and one of those kickstarter pages. Seems a nice way to keep outside hands away from the controls. We definitely back that approach. Check the mini-doc they also dropped detailing the making of the album below along with our favorite tracks.

“Sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is the one they would like to show to the world... Every so often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe.” – Irving Penn
FAMILIAR DIFFERENCES is a mixed grouping of young photographers whose work often entails the use portraiture as a means of depicting the world around them. Often, as active participants within the cultures they document, this grouping of young photographers is imbued with a sense of access and candidness that is unique and endearing to the work. Using various unmediated approaches, this forthright survey of early career photographers explores aspects of portraiture through formal and informal depictions of human experience.
These skate docs have been out for a while but they never seem to get old if you're into this kinda shit.
