Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label continues to pick up more of my favourite rappers, adding Q-Tip to their roster today. The Grammy award-winner and former ATCQ frontman is currently working on his fourth solo album, The Last Zulu. Tip joins recent signee Mos Def Yasiin Bey, along with Big Sean, John Legend, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, and Mr. Hudson. Q-Tip and Kanye have previously worked together on Ye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, as well as Watch The Throne. Said Q-Tip:
“I’m excited to be a part of the great iconic Def Jam label. I’m humbled to be a part of such a storied history. To reconnect with Barry Weiss (CEO of Island Def Jam and Universal Republic) is a great thing. As far as G.O.O.D. Music, I’m excited to solidify my working relationship with Kanye, and I look forward to all the opportunities that lie ahead in our partnership. I will do my best to present the most cutting edge music I can.”
