About Q-Tip
Q-Tip developed as a rapper and producer in A Tribe Called Quest, using jazz records as an important source for sample-based production. He later joined Ali Shaheed Muhammad and J Dilla in the production team the Ummah. His solo album Amplified included Vivrant Thing in 1999, followed by The Renaissance. Work beyond recording also included an artistic-director role for hip-hop culture at the Kennedy Center, linking performance, education and community programs.
