Dec 2, 2025Cabin In The Sky is a rollercoaster of an album that reveals its depth over repeated listens. Yes, at heart it is a eulogy for fallen loved ones, but it is also an existential crisis wrapped up in phenomenal guest appearances and carefully selected samples.

Nov 25, 2025While De La Soul’s social commentary is incisive, at its core this is an album about David Jolicoeur and the space he’s left behind.

Nov 25, 2025De La Soul still know how to create event albums that command our attention. It’s one of their less-acknowledged gifts — there’s only a handful of rap acts who warrant critical fervor with every release — and a primary reason why Cabin in the Sky feels riveting despite a surplus of sentimental pop tones.

Nov 25, 2025There’s no need to know the full context to enjoy ‘Cabin In The Sky’. As one of the most straight-forwardly enjoyable hip-hop albums 2025 has offered us, you’d be hard-pushed to top it for entertainment.

Nov 25, 2025Lasting more than 70 minutes, Cabin in the Sky can feel like a slog, with the end lacking the sprightliness of the album’s first half. An exception is the title track, on which Maseo and Pos pay tribute to Trugoy and others they’ve lost. It’s pensive and world-weary, but never loses its sense of magic.
