Q-Tip - Renaissance

Before you get this cd...and you must...pull out some old Tribe Called Quest and listen to it.   This cd puts in that mind frame.  Usually its hard for an artist to come back and release music relevant to the current time period.  He has accomplished this with this cd.  I can understand why he's holding a drum machine on the cover cause the tracks are ridiculous....his lyrics are on point too.  For me this cd starts at Gettin Up, the first single.  This is a feel good song that will....get you up or your mood anyway.  Gettin Up flows right into the next song, Official.  Oh man...yo neck is really about to be sore from the the head bobbin.  Cause the cd just continues with the next hard track for You.  And on and on it goes.  I was real pleased to see that he got with Raphael Saadiq on WeFight/WeLove.  He also has two other songs Norah Jones and D'Angelo that are just as pleasing.  Q-Tip definitely picked the right people two work on this cd.  Renaissance is a true audible pleasure...especially if you are a Tribe Called Quest fan from back in the day.  Q-Tip still got it.  Buy it!!!
