Q-Tip (who was recently featured on the cover of FILTER) is back, and true Hip Hop stans couldn’t be happier, or more excited about the lyrical-geniuses return. After his 2002 followup to his solo debut album Amplified was shelved by his label, fans have been waiting for nearly a decade for an album from the Queens rapper. Without a doubt, it has been well worth the wait.
With appearances from Kanye West, and D’Angelo to name a few, the album is a testament to lyricism and neo-soul and the rappers expiriences in the last decade. Songs like Johnny Died, one of my personal favorites from the album, dwelves into the deteriation of Hip-Hop. The Renaissance is slated for release on November 4th.
I Believe (Featuring D’Angelo)
His firts single Gettin Up, released in september, was a teaser to many of the great tracks in store on The Rennaissance. Take a listen to some of the tracks that have leaked. :). The album gets a 5/5 from RatRiot!
