De La Soul and Gorillaz Collaborating for ‘Crocadillaz’ Track

De La Soul’s Trugoy the Dove left us last month, at 54 years old, but his vocals live on through a surprise Gorillaz song.

On Friday, February 24th, The Gorillaz released Cracker Island, their 8th studio album filled with collaborations. Now for a part of a deluxe edition, three fresh songs arrive including “Crocadillaz” featuring De La Soul and Dawn Penn, “Captain Chicken” featuring Del The Funky Homosapian and “Controllah.”

Trugoy the Dove, who also went by Dave, contributed a posthumous verse to “Crocadillaz,” which has De La Soul sound in its beats.

Cracker Island features Bad Bunny, Stevie Nicks, Adeleye Omotayo, Thundercat, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, Bootie Brown and Beck.
