The group's third studio release, Buhloone Mindstate released on September 21, 1993, saw the group evolve into a new sound as they continued to grow stylistically and musically.There were several moments on the album which proved the band had matured."I Be Blowin'" was a departure as the track was an instrumental featuring saxophoneplaying by Maceo Parker. The introspective "I Am I Be" showed de la Soul at theirmost self-referential to date. "Long Island Wildin'" was a collaboration with Japanesehip hop artists Kan Takagi (Major Force) and trio Scha Dara Parr (SDP). The album'sfirst single, "Breakadawn", used a sample of Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help It" andSmokey Robinson's "Quiet Storm". de la Soul collaborated for the first time withGang Starr's Guru on "Patti Dooke", and female MC Shortie No Mas who was prominenton many tracks on the album and showcased particularly on "In The Woods".The album ended with an old school Biz Markie collaboration called "Stone Age".
