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.

im excited for the album.
2 for 2
this joint is dope but its been floating around for quite sometime now
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.
Now that unreleased joint “Request” takes me back to freshman year in college/BEATS,RHYMES & LIFE era.
late pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its like 3 years old son
Nice and nostalgic.

This shit is raw!
It’ll be a damn shame if this wonderful track doesn’t make the cut!
Very cool. Love the rhythmic and melodic value! Fun Flow.
wasn’t this on Kamaal the Abstract … ?
Joint is like 4 years old.
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.
I meant for real Hip-Hop artists. Q-Tip, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, and more…
They say it’s old, but it’s still better than this Wack Ass Shit that’s on today!!!
check out q-tip’s mixtape “Open the Mixtape: Abstract Innovations” because this song was on it. it is old but i still love it!
one word: ill.
very good. thx.
tight work, Q!
yeah, this got about 2 years old on it….but its so original and groovy.
dont forget, my peeps….Tip and Dilla learnt off each other for like 5-7 years…..amazing.
very very nice
very good stuff ! remind me the good old times !
keep on doing things like that
Nice feel good track. ..But that “It’s Time” cuts was first done by Pam The Funkstress from the Coup” so make sure you give her props for that…
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.
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!!!
One Love from France
lemme tell you.. im so sorry that im just hearing this song.. i dont care how old it is actually.. its new to my ears and its dope.. dilla’s essence is ever so present on this shit.. Tip Hot Shit…
Love u tip, if its not on renaissance, slap it on there..this is got beat rhymes and life written all over it…love it…peace from the city of lost angels…
Can’t wait till’ the album drops… put this on Digiwaxx or something so I can download it!!
Damn’! It’s a real Renaissance, like Phoenix ya know homie!!!!! Blaaaaaaaah!!
Peace from France like Teo!
Yeah yeah, we know it’s old but hell at least this, as well as a few other tracks are seeing a PROPER release!!!!!
Looking forward to it, immensely.
