Q-Tip - Kamaal The Abstract [Tri-Colored Black, White & Yellow Vinyl]

Q-Tip - Kamaal The Abstract / From the moment Kamaal The Abstract begins, it's evident that this is Tip at his most free and vulnerable, musically, up until that point. Most songs transform into (and end in) extended jams or have solos sprinkled throughout (or both). Jazz serves as the base, with Tip and his band using it's colorful and intricate chord progressions to explore funk, rap, rock, R&B and soul - sometimes all on the same song. The album is an artistic statement that's just as musically bold as it is conflicted, with a playful Tip at the center of it all, just trying to find freedom through music.
