Reviews & Discussion
Who had guessed that Q-Tip after his mainstream, but nevertheless great Amplified-Album, his experimental and unreleased stuff could go back to the good ATCQ times and present an album, which is perfectly drafted out of native tongue lyrics, his well known voice together with organic, jazzy and funky sound. Me not, but the bigger the surprise was. Q-Tip delivers classic Hip Hop which will never sound outdated. It works in the club as well at home on our sofa. Respect!
