De La Soul’s latest effort is in collaboration with the Nike+ Original Run program. Nike’s idea behind this is to get renowned artists to make 45 minute mixes with motivating runners in mind. Previous Original Run mixes have been created by Aesop Rock and DJ A-Trak. The last project, “Are You In?”  is a set completed by De La Soul and is available on iTunes.

Posdnuos of De La Soul explains, “When we first heard about this project we were psyched on the challenge. We pride ourselves on being able to get bodies moving, so it was cool to do it with a specific goal in mind – giving runners the sonic fuel to clock some miles.”

It’s been a while for De La Soul so if you need a reminder of just how good they are, take things back and listen to Ego Trippin (Part Two).
