Renaissance–(noun) a renewal of life, vigor, interest, etc.; rebirth; revival: a moral renaissance
Exactly, Q-Tip's new album is nothing less than the definition of renaissance. Who better than Q-tip, Harlem native to lead true HiP hOp fans into a revival of simply GOOD music. The overall feel of the album is classic with the use of old sounds and beats. Simple, nothing overdone. Long lost D'Angelo adds life to the album over smooth guitar strums with the song "Believe". Funky, is probably how my counterpart would describe "Life is Better" featuring Norah Jones. This head boobing song consist of Q-Tip reciting the names of many artist old and new.......J Dilla, Weezy, Leaders of the New School, Outkast and plenty more. The album is great and definitely a must have keep in your collection never let nobody borrow composition.
