De La Soul have successfully raised their target amount of £400,000 to fund their next album.
The trio recently announced their first album in eleven years, titled 'And The Anonymous Nobody' which is said to feature Damon Albarn, David Byrne, 2 Chainz and Little Dragon.
The hip-hop group wanted to try funding their album via a Kickstarter campaign, originally aiming to raise £74,000 for the recording. They've now surpassed this goal with almost £400,000 pledgers supporting the project.
De La Soul's Dave Jude Jolicoeur said of the news: "One way to look at this is that we’re sampling ourselves. So far, we’ve got over 200 hours of tape - we’ve been recording this music for years and finally we’ve got what we need to make the best De La Soul record ever."
The record will be De La Soul's first LP since 2004's 'The Grind Date'.
Meanwhile, the band recently unveiled a brand new track last month featuring hip-hop legend Nas, however the song ('God It') won't be appearing on the new record.
