Audio: Q-Tip "Official"

Posted by Shamz on


As we told you earlier, Q-Tip's latest album The Renaissance isn't dropping untill November 14th. Everyone seemed to be feeling the first sampling we got with "Gettin Up." To keep things moving, today we're gonna hit you with another joint that you may not have heard before. The song is called "Official" and it is just that. We're not sure if this is on The Renaissance or not.  Either way, enjoy.  We'll definitely have some more from the album as we get closer to that release date.

Doper than the dopest dope... Even if I've been knowing and loving this song for like two years or so, Q-Tip next masterpiece (undoubtedly) is perfectly titled: Live at the Renaissance!!! It's a resurrection bitches!!!

LOL Oh Q-Tip !!! He had Raphael Saadiq fallowin him around last night at black august at BB Kings... i thought he was gonna perform with him or somethin cuz he want really with no one else, and he a Oakland nigga he dont be in NYC like that. He rep Queens to the fullest on this track, and it sounds like its gonna be an album cut i sure hope so this song is doper than a Bobby Brown piss test. im feelin it.

I meant for real Hip-Hop artists. Q-Tip, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, and more...

Can't wait for Hip-Hop artists to release their music. I don't mind if they take too long to release them as long the music is real.

Kurt Rambis is right. I heard this (and "Scram Jones") a while ago on a mix from this UK dj (name is really slipping past me right now).

Dope all the same.
