Fans of A Tribe Called Quest veteran Q Tip have been waiting for a new album from him for more than ten years, but now there’s new optimism that the wait will soon end s he just released a new song.

The now 53-year-old Tip hinted to new songs on Thursday (April 11) while thanking fans for their birthday wishes on X (previously Twitter).

He wrote, “Love you guys and thanks for the well wishes.” “Music is on the way, pay attention.”

“When you say Music…do you mean all three?” a fan inquired. “3 but some title changes on 1 of em.” was his response. Not using an algorithm. Something fresh has emerged.

The phrase “all three” alludes to the three solo albums—AlGoRhythms, Riotdiaries, and The Last Zulu—that Q-Tip declared he was working on in 2020.

Love you guys and thanks for the wishes

Music coming stay tuned

He continued, saying, “Thank you, God willing, I will get with you soon,” after disclosing the album titles.

Q-Tip released his last solo album Kamaal the Abstract in 2009. The project was planned to be out in 2002 as the follow-up to his 1999 debut Amplified, but it was shelved by his record company at the time.
