Rapper Q-Tip (of A Tribe Called Quest) has been out of the solo game for a while. His last album was 2002’s unreleased Kamaal the Abstract. Things are about to change, however, as Q-Tip readies his next album, The Renaissance.
The album’s first single, WorkItOut, will be availalbe to download and stream for free beginning Wednesday July 4th at www.myspace.com/qtipmusic.
“WorkItOut is a feel-good song. It is indicative of The Renaissance; thought-provoking, dance-friendly, fun and last but not least Hip-Hop,” said Q-Tip in a statement.
Although Q-Tip has been largely absent as of late, he has worked recently with Busta Rhymes, RZA, Rhymefest and Mariah Carey, among others.
The Renaissance is due in stores this October.
