Q-TIP Beats Rhymes
and Features
– Colm K
“Back in the days when I was a teenager, Before I had status and before I had a pager, You could find the Abstract listening to hip hop, My pops used to say, it reminded him of be-bop”
… or it’s full title of “Beats, Rhymes & Features – The Extensive Adventures Of The Abstract Poetic Q Tip mixed by Colm K”.
Colm K, Corkonian, DJ and producer extraordinaire has taken time out to lace us with this great little mix of Q-Tip’s solo work in anticipation of our Dublin show in August which features Q-Tip himself and Colm supporting. (more details on that show here)
Some gems on here featuring Q on the mic and behind the boards. You can’t beat an emcee that rhymes, produces and collects records. It’s the epitomy of hiphop and something you don’t see too much of these days but then again there’s not many emcees who can stand up to Q-Tip in terms of rhymes, production and overall legacy. Old school and New school – the mix below speaks for itself.
