Q-Tip
As one-fourth of the legendary hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip has always infused
Jazz, blues and funk with hip-hop. Repping Queens, NY and more specifically Linden Blvd., Q-Tip can now proudly claim another place to call home. DNA testing revealed Q-Tip’s ancestors on his mother’s side hail from the Jola tribe in Guinea-Bissau and his ancestry plays an important role in his musical career. The tribe was known for creating an instrument called the lute, the precursor to the banjo, which led to the creation of the blues.
