New York rap veteran Q-Tip has announced a new and final A Tribe Called Quest album. Even crazier, the group frontman has revealed it will arrive in two weeks.
Tip went to Instagram Thursday (October 27) and broke the news to followers about a November 11 release.
The big news generated a reaction from ATCQ affiliate Busta Rhymes.
Buzz developed earlier this year about a possible new Tribe album being in the works.
Music executive L.A. Reid teased the new music in August, Tribe’s first studio record since The Love Movement in 1998. “I’m really happy about it, man, it’s really something special,” Reid said. “It’s one of the things I’m most excited about over everything we’re working on.” (EW)
Q-Tip has kept busy over the past 48 months.
Earlier this year, Q-Tip was named the Kennedy Center’s first-ever artistic director for hip-hop culture. His collaborative album with Busta Rhymes, The Abstract and the Dragon, arrived in 2014. Phife Dawg recently had a street in Queens named after him in his honor. (Pitchfork)
