Q-Tip seems like he is in every music blog right now. The Renaissance has quickly taken on "classic" status. I like it, so don't expect me to hate on it here. But I just listened to Abstract Innovations, and it's also pretty good. If I have all my information right, it is a mix tape put together by Dub MD and came out a minute ago. So I get caught sleeping again.
You'll find that the tape sounds kinda like a certain recent release from Q-Tip. Three of the songs get worked on here and developed after this mixtape into The Renaissance versions that were released late last year. But wait, not only are there pre-production versions of songs you already know, there are also some sweet tracks on here that you probably haven't heard. Poetry with Erykah Badu for example or I Got Rhythm Ft Royce The 5' 9 & Lena Horne. Go find it.
In fact, let me introduce you to Capt. Crawl. He's your new best friend. Remember MP3's suck and if you can go buy the vinyl you'll be happier and the artist you like will be able to buy dinner tonight. So listen to the free download and then go support the artists.[/soapbox]
