Add this to your list of mixtapes to download and listen to immediately. Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes have teamed up for something truly special, a thoroughly head-nodding 28-track free offering: The Abstract and The Dragon. When your mixtape cover harkens back to Tribe’s Low End Theory, there are immediately certain expectations as to the style and quality of the music. Those expectations were furthered when we got the visuals to Busta’s “Thank You.” Thankfully, The Abstract and The Dragon delivers on all levels. The collaborative project is chock full of beats and rhymes both old and new, and both Busta and Tip sound reinvigorated. A couple early favourites include “God Lives Through,” “Steppin’ It Up,” “The Abstract & The Dragon,” and “You Can’t Hold The Torch.” Stream and download The Abstract and The Dragon below.
