Q-Tip's Kamaal the Abstract Finally Gets A Release Date
Thursday July 2, 2009
After eight years in label limbo, Q-Tip's 2001 LP Kamaal the Abstract will finally get to see the light of day. The album, which features nine tracks that the Tribe Called Quest frontman produced entirely on his own, will be issued via Battery Records on Sept. 15.
"Q-Tip is a true visionary and ahead of his time," Neil Levine, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Battery Records, said in a press statement. "These songs are more contemporary now than when they were first recorded."
Kamaal the Abstract was originally scheduled for release in 2001, but it was shelved due to a disagreement between Q-Tip and Arista Records.
Q-Tip's most recent work, The Renaissance, topped our Best Albums of 2008 list.

Damn, Can’t WAIT!!!
I’ve had this album via the downloading from the internet for a while now, but I’ll definitely buy it when it comes out. “Even If It Is So” is my favorite song off the album.
Great news, I wonder if ‘Open’ will also get released now
