Previously expected to be titled "Live At The Renaissance", The Renaissance is the latest effort from critically acclaimed rapper Q-Tip, leader of A Tribe Called Quest. Following some label politics he was to finally release this LP on Universal/Motown Records on December 18, 2007, but it has been postponed again. The new release date was then expected to be sometime in February 2008 but was yet again postponed. The first track off the album is called "Work It Out", which can be heard in full at Q-Tip's MySpace-page. When asked to describe the sound of his new album by the Boston Globe in October 2007 Q-Tip said, "I definitely used my band. I know that in hip-hop the drums are the most important thing, so I paid particular attention to that, so that I don't lose any of the hip-hop sensibilities. It's got a lot of keyboards, guitars, and drums." The new album will be one of two albums Q-Tip is expected to release in 2008. Also A Tribe Called Quest are reportedly bringing out a new album sometime during 2008.
