Honored, blessed & humbled to work with Tip's team to present this surprise gift to him on his 50th bday.
I took Q-Tip's vocal's from the 'Amplified' album, and blended them with Pete's 'Return Of The SP1200' instrumental LP. I also made sure I found a way to get Phife on there...
Special thanks to Pete Rock, Mike Rapaport, and Rachel for the assist

Things You Do
The Abstract’s Amplified lyric book blesses a batch of recently uncovered beats from the boom-bap pioneer.
On Friday, veterans and pedestrians alike saluted Q-Tip for his 50th lap around the sun (which lined up nicely with the 30th-anniversary of A Tribe Called Quest’s debut album, People’s Instinctive Travels and The Paths of Rhythm.)
Arriving in all shapes and lengths, tributes to the hip-hop renaissance man poured in from both fans and longtime collaborators, with Questlove’s two-part (seven-and-a-half-hour) DJ set taking the titles for lengthiest and most shapely. The day capped with a rare transmission from Tip, teasing new music and announcing three (!) new albums in a clip posted to Instagram. Sadly, no dates were announced.
But while we wait for those items to materialize, DJ Filthy Rich has a helluva placeholder. The Toronto-based producer has released a mash-up mixtape, blending Tip’s Amplified lyric book with the early Pete Rock beats uncovered on the producer’s latest release, Return of The SP-1200, swapping out Dilla’s gnarled, yet polished, bossa grooves for a rugged and raw suite.
