QTip - 'The Renaissance'

The Renaissance, Q-Tip's first album since 1999's Amplified, is chock full of brilliant rhymes, tributes to the hip-hop culture and to dead pals. Q-Tip describes his comeback album as "thought-provoking, dance-friendly, fun and last but not least hip-hop." The Renaissance arrives on election day. And that's no coincidence, my friends. Tip is a strong supporter of Democrat Barack Obama.
