Featuring contributions from Kanye West, André 3000, Jack White and Kendrick Lamar, the long-awaited final album from the hip-hop group is available now on Spotify and Apple Music.
This is the sixth studio album from A Tribe Called Quest and leading member Q-Tip has said that We got it from Here… Thank You 4 Your servicewill be the group's final farewell. The album title is a clear nod to original member Phife Dawg, who passed away back in April.
If this is the final chapter of the ATCQ story then what a way to go out. The album mixes cutting socio-political lyrics with the funky jazz and soul sound that Q-Tip's production skills have perfected over the last thirty years.
The album has received ringing endorsements from other rap artists, with The Roots' Questlove sharing his thoughts about it on a lengthy Instagram post. Questlove proffers that A Tribe Called Quest could continue their journey by bringing Outkast's Andre 3000 into the mix.
Long time collaborator Busta Rhymes also makes an appearance on this star-studded album which feels like a final rousing goodbye to one of the most innovative hip-hop groups in history.
