De La Soul are releasing their first new music in five years on April 28 as part of the Nike+ campaign. The 45-minute long track, which will be released in partnership with Apple, was written specifically for runners, but can be enjoyed by active and sedentary music fans alike.

“We’d worked with Nike before, designing kicks and playing some of their marathons,” said Kelvin Mercer, aka Posdnuos. “We were excited when they approached us because we’re the first actual band to do one of these tracks.”
