Breakthrough: As one third of the rap group De La Soul, rapper/producer Trugoy, aka Trugoy the Dove, burst onto the scene with the group’s debut, 3 Feet High and Rising (Tommy Boy, 1989), an innovative project that pushed rap into a completely new direction, both sonically and conceptually. Widely regarded as one of the best and most influential rap albums ever made, 3 Feet High and Rising signaled the beginning of the so-called D.A.I.S.Y. (“Da Inner Sound, Y’All”) Age and established Trugoy and De La Soul as major hip hop players for a generation to come.

Now You Know: Trugoy is the backward spelling of the rapper’s favorite food, yogurt.
