Kevin:

I was glad to hear Tribe and De La mentioned on the list.

I saw an ad for De La's new album in Vibe recently. It should be released
on June 18. I don't have a title available right now.

And Tribe was also mentioned in a recent Vibe. The writer had been in the
studio with them -- it seems they will have a summer release. I don't have
a date on that yet.

Hope that's a help.

Seeya,
