DJ Shadow Shares New Song ‘Rocket Fuel’ Featuring De La Soul

DJ Shadow shared a new song, “Rocket Fuel,” featuring De La Soul. The track is the first new music from DJ Shadow since 2017 and will be included on a new album coming out this fall.

DJ Shadow sampled De La Soul on his 1996 debut album Endtroducing…... De La Soul’s Posdnous also appeared on DJ Shadow’s 2011 album, The Less You Know, the Better. DJ Shadow shared the following statement regarding “Rocket Fuel”:

It’s been awhile since my last album The Mountain Will Fall, and the corresponding tour…and since the tour ended, I’ve been mostly silent. This is because I’ve been focused and working on a ton of music. I usually try to avoid hyperbole, and I’m not super-comfortable hyping up my own stuff, but things are about to get pretty exciting. My heroes De La Soul were kind enough to join me on the debut single, “Rocket Fuel,” and the collab encapsulates so much of what I love about hip-hop…energy, beats, and fun.
