Q-Tip: The Renaissance
Seen as a fundamental figure in the nu-soul movement, Q-Tip's rough, jazzy style and contemplative flow have influenced the likes of Lauryn Hill and D'Angelo. His first album in nine years proves to be worth the wait, with the rapper casting himself as the geeky outsider to hip-hop's weary fundamentalism. This is true of the album's production (live drums and dirty bass create an authentic sound) and his socially aware lyrics. The single Move is as urgent in its call for change as it is to dance, while the part- unaccompanied Dance on Glass is a brilliant rail against cookie-cutter rap stars.
