Q-tip's Kamaal the Abstract is in stores TODAY!!!
Videos of Q-tip talking about various cuts off the Kamaal the Abstract album:
The album is great! It proabably was ahead of its time when it was originally slated for relase back in 2001 although, truth be told, even if Tip compares it aesthetically to Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, there ain't no "Hey Ya"-style pop crossover hit on there to power mega album sales. This is a challenging, creative, left-field fusion hip hop-jazz opus more inspired by Miles Davis' Bitches Brew in the vein of what Tip said he set out to make. But that's only even more reason for you to check it out. Here's a teaser.

Q-tip - "Even If It So" [yousendit mp3 link]
