Q-Tip reveals that he's been producing tracks for Kendrick Lamar and D'Angelo.

Giant Step recently caught up with the legendary Q-Tip to discuss curating a series of parties at the Irving Plaza this summer. During the interview, the A Tribe Called Quest front man revealed that he's hard at work in the studio with a number of big name artists, including D'Angelo and Kendrick Lamar.

Tip revealed that he has been producing tracks for the Top Dawg Entertainment emcee and Virginia born singer, as well as singer Ledisi. The Queens emcee also indicated that he will begin production on his upcoming G.O.O.D. Music debut later this summer.

"I’m basically doing a lot of production right now and that’s going really well," he said. "I’m about to start my new album in the latter part of the summer and it should be out next year, so I’m excited about that. I’ve been excited about music in general, so it’s really good. I’m making music for other people and myself: Kendrick Lamar, D’Angelo, [and] Ledisi."

In addition to K. Dot, D'Angelo and Ledisi, it has been confirmed that Q-Tip has been collaborating with Roc Marciano on his long-awaited Reloaded project.

Niiiiiice. It'd be great if Q-Tip started to produce prolifically for other MCs, dudes beats have always been a thing of beauty. Imagine if he became as prolific as Alc is right now... :ooh:

Q-Tip has always been nice on production. He's not afraid to push the boundries and he seems to have a great sense of rythm, so this is great news to me.

He is one of the few 'veteran' producers who has a sound that is unique and modern - too many of them are still trying to make beats that worked back in '94, and just tweaking them a little here and there to stay relavant.
