We Got It From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service

Released

This new music from A Tribe Called Quest, 18 years after their “final” album, is that impossibly rare musical event: a long gone, much beloved act reappearing with its creative powers intact. We Got It from Here picks up where the best of Tribe’s work left off. “The Space Program” is a treatise on black unity; “We the People” details an America hostile to blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, gays and the poor. “Whateva Will Be” could be the height of the late Phife Dawg’s lyricism on any ATCQ track ever. Groups have faded from view in rap music, so the mere existence of this album—a true team effort—feels vintage.
