Q-Tip is back with “The Renaissance”

Q-Tip is about to drop his first full-length album in nine years!!! The much anticipated record, entitled “The Renaissance”, will be released via Universal / Motown on November 4 (the same day as the US general election).

The newly released single is called Getting Up, and and Tip is sounding just as good as ever. If the rest of the album is anything like this, it could be a contender for album of the year.
