Q-Tip has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new album from A Tribe Called Quest which will mark their first in 18 years.
In a handwritten letter posted to Facebook, Q-Tip confirmed that the album would be released in just two weeks and that work on it begun around a year ago, following the group’s appearance on The Tonight Show.
Q-Tip’s post confirms that the original members worked on the album, alongside Busta Rhymes and Consequence, with work coming to a head following the death of Phife Dawg in March of this year. "It was coming together nicely and as you may know we lost our brother may god rest his soul on March 22nd," Q-Tip says. "But he left us with the blueprint of what we had to do."
The album is out on November 11 and you can read Q-Tip’s full letter here.
