3 year ago today, the world of Hip-Hop mourned the loss of one of its most unique voices.

As a co-founder of De La Soul, Trugoy The Dove was instrumental in redefining the genre’s sound and essence. From the trailblazing album “3 Feet High And Rising” to the powerful and introspective “Stakes Is High,” his talent, sincerity, and bold vision established a new benchmark.

Trugoy demonstrated that Hip-Hop could simultaneously be fun, thought-provoking, innovative, and profoundly genuine.

May he rest in peace and his legacy continue to be remembered.
