Q-TIP: The Renaissance
Motown Records :: Fall 2007

Q-Tip Blows Up The Fourth of July With Free Single
"WorkItOut" Available Exclusively via www.myspace.com/qtipmusic.

July 3rd, New York, NY - Hip-hop innovator Q-Tip is celebrating Independence Day with a bang, making "WorkItOut" - the first single from his upcoming album The Renaissance - available on July 3rd (TODAY). The exclusive download will be accessible for a limited time via www.myspace.com/qtipmusic. The Renaissance is scheduled for release this fall on Motown Records.

Says Q-Tip, "'WorkItOut' is a feel-good song. It is indicative of The Renaissance; thought-provoking, dance-friendly, fun and last but not least hip-hop." A quintessential summer jam, "WorkItOut" continues Q-Tip's long tradition of classic hip-hop compositions. It'll keep you moving, thinking, grooving and sweating with energy and unforgettable hooks long into sexy summer nights.

Featuring a unique mix of samples and a live band, The Renaissance is the latest chapter in one of the most storied careers in urban music. Grammy award winner and founder of the trailblazing group A Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip has remained at the forefront of the hip-hop world with recent collaborations with Hi-Tek, Busta Rhymes, Wu-Tang Clan and Will.I.Am and production work for Nas, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston.

Tribe still is one of the tightest HipHop groups ever. Q-Tip, while I never got into his solo efforts that much has still put out great stuff with lots of different artists (especially with Mos Def / Talib Quali). I am looking forward to checking out his new stuff, but it would be even better to get the Tribe back together!

Motown Records, though? That is interesting to say the least. Or did I miss something there over the last couple of years :)

Q-tip is also sopose to release an album called Kamaal the Abstract that was completed 5 years ago but was never released because his label said that it wasnt mainstream enough. Its sopose to be more jazz influence then anything him or Tribe has ever done.

who is giving negative comments for tribe lyrics? Everyone needs to get Midnight Marauders from ATCQ! Classic. What happened to Tribe getting back together? I thought they were supposed to do something within the last couple years. Tip is the man but hes nothin without Pfife dog.

Tribe did reunite! I saw them on tour last year. Has anyone actually been able to download this MP3 from the myspace page? It was available for download originally, and I tried at work but it was too slow. And now the download funtion is disabled. I HATE MYSPACE!

damn paul14. nobody's giving "negative comments" for tribe lyrics. they're lyrics from songs. i think almost everyone that likes good hip-hop has had midnight marauders at one point and tribe did reunite for a little while.

Paul14, its definitely not a negative comment, its a lyric from Midnight Marauders...anyways, one of the best rap groups ever...saw these guys open for Beastie Boys about 7 years ago, one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Greatest line ever by Phife:

Honey tell your man to chill, or else you'll be a widow.

did not you know that my styles are top dollar?,
the five foot assassin knockin' fleas off his collar.

love phife & tip...if you like midnight marauders, you gotta check out The Low End Theory. The whole album features Ron Carter (of Miles Davis Sextet fame) on bass.

You misunderstand. When I posted, both comments had thumbs down and a negative score.. That made no sense to me.

Greatest Phife Dog Lyric:

Let me hit it from the back, girl I won't catch a hernia
Bust off on your couch, now you got semen's furniture

(A brilliant play on Siemens--a name brand furniture company)

left my wallet in el sagundo after some midnight marauders didn't check the scenario and asked me if they could kick it until they found who had the jazz.
