今までにLauryn Hill, The Roots, Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Mary J Blige, Isley Brothersなど、レーベル/マネージメントと連動したOfficial MixCDをリリースしてきたJ.Periodによる『Q-Tip [The Abstract] Best』をご紹介。
2008年に9年ぶりにリリースされたソロ・アルバム『The Renaissance
』は各方面で絶賛され、Q-Tipファンはもちろんその唯一無二の才能を十分堪能されたと思いますが、本作はJ.Period自身のホームページにて、Free Downloadで配信されたQ-TipのTribute Mix。新旧のQ-Tip関連作品に加え、この盤のみのExclusiveなJ Period Remixesや、De La Soul, ?uestlove, Talib Kweli, Skillz, Consequence and Kid CudiによるNew Tribute Tracksも収録。何とも太っ腹。リンクが切れないうちにドウゾ。
