The New York Living Journal
Location: Brooklyn Central Library, 10 Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn
Thirty years after the release of De La Soul’s Stakes Is High, the album remains an important reference point in hip-hop history. Brooklyn Public Library is marking the anniversary with a listening session.
The October 23, 2026 program is listed for 6:15 PM at Brooklyn Central Library. Music-and-culture discussion provides a chance to consider the album as a complete work.
Listening together can reveal elements that disappear when a recording is encountered only as individual tracks. The format also connects a classic album with the city’s living musical communities.
The event is at 10 Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn. Earlier registration information indicated that the waitlist was full; prospective visitors should not assume admission is available.
