About A Tribe Called Quest
A Tribe Called Quest are a hip-hop group whose music combines jazz and soul samples with conversational rapping, playful exchanges and social observation. Associated with the Native Tongues collective, they developed an approach that made room for Afrocentric ideas and musical experimentation. People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm introduced songs including Can I Kick It?, while The Low End Theory paired relaxed delivery with carefully built beats. Their later album We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service continued the group's political and reflective writing.
