It was released for the US and Canadian market, and the disc was glass mastered and pressed by Vantiva in Guadalajara, Mexico. The program runs to eighteen tracks: it follows the album's streaming sequence, which divides \"The Bizness\" into two tracks, \"The Bizness\" and \"Yunonstop.\" The disc face carries the AOI and Chrysalis marks and a 2023 A.O.I., LLC copyright line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe edition exists because of a change in ownership. Reservoir Media bought Tommy Boy, the group's original label, in 2021, and its Chrysalis imprint then worked with the trio and AOI to bring their first six albums to streaming services on March 3, 2023. Vinyl, CD and cassette editions of each album followed, and this disc arrived in June 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTommy Boy released the album on July 2, 1996. It reached No. 13 on the Billboard 200, and Robert Christgau's Village Voice review opened by saying the group emerged \"from the ether like the long-lost friends they are.\" The title track, produced by Jay Dee, who later recorded as J Dilla, was the lead single on June 17, 1996, built on samples of James Brown's \"Mind Power\" and Ahmad Jamal's \"Swahililand,\" with \"The Bizness\" on the B-side. Its video features cameos from A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, Common and MCA of the Beastie Boys. In 2023, Billboard placed the song sixth and Stereogum second on their lists of the ten greatest De La Soul songs. \"Itzsoweezee (HOT)\" and \"4 More\" followed as singles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupa Emcees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bizness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYunonstop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWonce Again Long Island\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDinninit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDog Eat Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Ooh Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Island Degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetta Listen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItzsoweezee (HOT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 More\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Brother Beat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown Syndrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePony Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStakes Is High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunshine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e (2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/de-la-soul-3-feet-high-and-rising-cd\"\u003e3 Feet High And Rising\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStakes Is High (this release)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810098503013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrysalis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.9.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Chrysalis","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67500921028766,"sku":"EVP-159F86CF-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/de-la-soul-stakes-is-high-cd-packshot.jpg?v=1792099909","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/de-la-soul-stakes-is-high-cd","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
