This year’s Thanksgiving festivities kicked off early as De La Soul dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, November 26th.

There, the duo of Posdnuos and Maseo served up a medley of “Run It Back” and “The Package,” two standouts from De La Soul’s recently-released ninth album, Cabin in the Sky . (It also marked the group’s first release since the February 2023 death of vocalist Trugoy the Dove .) The former selection saw De La Soul shine as a tight, lean duo, showcasing the singular chemistry that’s defined the outfit for decades. The latter cut, meanwhile, featured both a brass band and a bouncing ball -style singalong for a robust and compelling celebration of life, legacy, rap music, and their fallen brother. Check out the full performance below.
