Revolutionary rapper, Q Tip, recently appeared as a guest lecturer in Adjunct Professor Jonathan Fine’s A&R class for the Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. He spoke to the students and commented on how to "make music an event" as well as discussed his new project with Apple on opening up a series of cafes. He also spoke on his soon to be released album The Renaissance which features the veteran MC rhyming over a mix of samples and a live band. Q-Tip added that "Music is the last frontier, not in saving lives, but in commenting on them in a way that can bring about change."
A longtime rapper with alternative pioneers A Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip has gone solo at which time he earned a Grammy in 2005 with the Chemical Brothers on the song “Galvanize“.
