Kanye West Taps Q-Tip and Rick Rubin To Produce Next Album
. While the shows generated lots of love for A Tribe Called Quest (and attracted a cavalcade of stars, including Dave Chappelle and Jack White), the union seems to have borne some interesting fruit. According to a recent interview, Q-Tip casually mention that he along with hip-hop pioneer Rick Rubin (who helped West shape Yeezus) will team up to produce Kanye West's next album. The revelation came during a sit-down with esteemed music journalist Elliott Wilson backstage at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, where the two chopped it up about hopping on the Yeezus tour and A Tribe Called Quest's legacy, among other subjects (we also learn that Q-Tip does a great impersonation of Busta Rhymes). "I'm producing Kanye's new album with Rick Rubin, that's coming up" Q-Tip announced when asked what's on his itinerary before he follows up the outstanding 2008 full-length, The Renaissance, with his next studio record, tentatively entitled The Last Zulu (Kamaal/The Abstract, released in 2009, was actually a shelved 2001 project finally seeing the light of day). The rapper/producer didn't offer any more details regarding the startling announcement, but given both his and Rick Rubin's production track record, it would make for one of the most intriguing and anticipated releases of any given year in music. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
