Last year's The Renaissance was easily one of the year's top releases. However, that was not the initial album that Q-Tip wanted to release. The album he wanted was rejected by the record company. This was nothing foreign to Q-Tip. Following his debut Amplified he handed his label Kamaal/The Abstract which they promptly refused to release. Now, after realizing that Q-Tip has a fine taste for more, well, abstract sounds, Battery Records will be releasing Kamaal/The Abstract later this year. Here, however, is the album Q wanted to release that later became The Renaissance (some of the tracks here made it to the final product).
