Miami’s TenDJiz won me over as a fan when he dropped the De La Soul meets Soviet Soul and Jazz project, De La Soulviet. Today he releases his second Soviet Soul meets American Hip Hop project in this new mix featuring Q-Tip vocals. The mixtape is called Q-Tipokratiya, which combines Q-Tip’s name with the Greek word for “power.” Check out the full mixtape below, and thank TenDJiz later for providing your morning soundtrack.
“It was good, pardon the pun.”
Q-Tip called into the Peter Rosenberg and Cipha Sounds radio show this morning to talk about his new deal with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music. Tip talked about the natural chemistry that formed with Kanye, and that the deal started while he was working with Kanye on Watch The Throne and MDBTF. Tip also mentioned that he will be on the G.O.O.D. compilation, as he has a song with 2 Chainz and Common, as well as one with Pusha T. He also talks about his forthcoming LP, The Last Zulu and how the name stems from a recent DNA test.
Kanye West continues to build out his already impressive G.O.O.D. Music line-up. Today it has been announced that Q-Tip has also signed with the label. Furthermore they have announced that his 4th studio album, The Last Zulu, will be released some time in 2013. Next to Q-Tip, the G.O.O.D. Music line-up includes Pusha T, Kid Cudi, John Legend, Big Sean and of course Kanye himself. Who knows, maybe Q-Tip was already involved in the G.O.O.D. Music Album that will release soon.

Earlier today, Q-Tip took updated his Facebook with “In the lab w/ Kendrick Lamar. Wooof!”. And while I know a lot of folks are excited to hear what Kendrick and Pharrell cooked up, this right here is the shit that has me amped. Hopefully we get to hear the outcome soon..
As previously indicated, Kendrick Lamar is currently busy crafting his upcoming debut album. On that note, we also reported that the Compton native has also spent some serious studio time with Pharrell Williams. In a recent interview with Billboard, he opened up on the collaboration with Skateboard and further revealed the possibility of recording with Q-Tip in the near future.
“Pharrell really does this music like this is his first time in the studio. He still got that hunger. He’s one of the producers that pulls out his keyboard and pulls up the session and make a crazy beat right front of you. We knocked out six records in two days. Just by off the vibin’ [and] creating from scratch. To hear all the music that he’s making and reminisce all the music that I love to listen to, he’s making it right in front of me now is a crazy feeling.
Regarding working with Q-Tip he said:
“We ain’t lock in on the music side yet. Sometimes its best to feel the energy first before you go in the lab with a person.”
Q-Tip, ?uestlove and Black Thought took part recently in OkayAfrica "The Roots Of" series. The artists are following the traces of their ancestry all the way to Africa as they get swabbed to collect DNA, in order to analyze his maternal ancestry. Watch both segments above and follow this interesting story.
QREAM, Pharell 's new line of cream liquers, officially launched late last week in Miami with a star-studded launch party. Including Pharrell, the notable guests were hip-hop artists Fat Joe and Q-Tip, both of whom wore some notable sneakers to the cheery event. Fat Joe (who isn't looking as fat these days) wore the Air Jordan III Black/Cement, although the few glimpses we caught weren't enough to determine which release they were, and Q-Tip match his 'A Tribe Called Quest' tank-top with the Air Jordan Spiz'ike in the Black/Green/Red/White colorway - one of the original colorways of the Air Jordan Spiz'ike. Check out both noted celebrity sneakerheads after the jump and let us know who rocked the better kicks!
