So, Q-Tip released a new album last week, Kamaal the Abstract. Some words and music - Do You Dig U
Do You Dig U? (Featuring Gary Thomas And Kurt Rosenwinkel) by Q - Tip
My personal pick from this album Do You Dig U (also check the live performance together with the Roots @ Jimmy Fallon's Late Night, playing the track Barely In Love)
It's been a year since the release of Q-Tip's last album The Renaissance, which took me a year to get used to ;)Q-Tip is obviously doing his own thing on this new album, taking hiphop on it's way to higher levels. As a reviewer on Amazon states: "a musical hybrid". Which is remarkable since this album is 8 years over due, mainly because the record company doubted the commercial "viability" (always a good sign when a record company argues commercial viability), which means Q-Tip was way ahead of his time, then and now even still. With some help from jazz legends Kenny Garrett, Gary Thomas and Kirk Rosenwinkel, this album has become a very strong production, few samples, loads of live instruments. Think Prince, P-Funk, Stevie Wonder, The Roots, Lenny Kravitz, Jazzanova. It's neo soul and jazz combined with old school funk, R&B and alternative rock. Just ten tracks on the CD but they are all quality productions. With Even As It Is So being an instant classic. Kamaal The Abstract, an album worth every single dollar ;)
The Roots - Long Time
Been listening to this song non-stop lately. |
Q-Tip and The Roots - Barely In Love - Live @ Jimmy Fallon 16/09/2009
Great track, after all it's The Roots playing. Somehow, in a strange way, Q-Tip isn't really an addition to the track :(

After taking a day off yesterday because my body was just not complying with Boot Camp, I had one of my best workouts in awhile today. Abs were strong. Triceps were strong. I even stretched better. Good on ya, Body!
