The Renaissance is just Q-Tip’s second album in the ten years since A Tribe Called Quest called it quits. Q-Tip handled the production duties himself, and this lean collection of tracks adheres to his old-school values but still sounds remarkably fresh, and even innovative.

“Gettin’ Up” and “Won’t Trade” incorporate classic soul samples on songs that represent Q-Tip at his buttery best. Few rappers have a better ear, and it is to Tip’s credit that tracks like “ManWomanBoogie” and “Dance On Glass” work as well in a club setting as through the headphones of the young hip-hop faithful.

The Renaissance is just Q-Tip’s second album in the ten years since A Tribe Called Quest called it quits. Q-Tip handled the production duties himself, and this lean.

Now pushing 40, Tip’s flow is as swift and charming as it was twenty years ago, and he easily sidesteps playing the grumpy old rapper, a trap that has befallen many of his golden-age peers. The Renaissance demonstrates that a lot of time and acumen can make an offering that adeptly blends the old with the new.

The longtime MC with pioneering alternative hip-hop trio A Tribe Called Quest, rapper Q-Tip was born Jonathan Davis in New York City on November 20, 1970.

While a student at the Murray Bergtraum High School for Business Careers, he co-founded A Tribe Called Quest in 1988 with fellow students Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Phife (Malik Taylor). The following year, Q-Tip guested on De La Soul's 'Buddy,' with the two groups forever linked through their association with the Native Tongues collective. Tribe's debut single, 'Description of a Fool,' appeared in the summer of 1989, and after signing to Jive Records, the trio issued its debut LP, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, a year later. With its fiercely intelligent, socially progressive lyrics and brilliant fusion of rap and jazz, the group emerged as one of the most popular and influential in all of hip-hop, producing such classic LPs as 1991's The Low End Theory and 1993's Midnight Marauders before disbanding in 1998. Q-Tip then mounted a solo career with the 1999 release of Amplified. Although it was successful, he was in label limbo for many years afterward, continuing to record but rarely able to release any of his output. (One album, Kamaal the Abstract, was ready to roll into stores in 2002 when it was halted; it was finally released by Jive in 2009.) His sophomore set finally appeared in late 2008 and earned its title, The Renaissance.

Occasionally overlooked is his production and collaborative work. His major accomplishments outside Tribe and his solo output include contributions to Nas' 'One Love,' Mobb Deep's 'Temperature's Rising,' Janet Jackson's 'Got 'Til It's Gone,' Jay-Z's 'Girls, Girls, Girls,' Hiatus Kaiyote's Grammy-nominated 'Nakamarra,' and D'Angelo's 'Ain't That Easy.' He prepared another solo album, The Last Zulu, for release in 2016, and also hosted a radio show for Apple Music's Beats 1. ~ Jason Ankeny • ORIGIN New York, NY [Harlem] • BORN April 10, 1970.

Technology is making the future easier yet pretty unbelievable. You can deposit money by taking a photo of it.

The technology is called remote deposit capture. Apple offers applications that do this through Chase, Bank of America, and Citibank. It works by taking a picture of a check, a computer that receives the image looks for the amount, the check number and the digits on the bottom with information on the check writer’s account number and the bank’s routing number.

A photo of the back of the check verifies that it’s been signed by the recipient. A banking clearinghouse then routes the funds from the check writer’s account to that of the recipient. That also prevents the same check from being deposited multiple times. Nearly one in three adults have hypertension (high blood pressure) thats an estimated 74 million Americans, with another 59 on the cusp of hypertension. High blood pressure is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. It has been linked to dementia.

Ways to prevent hypertension is cut salt intake and increase potassium intake. (Cutting salt intake can save the healthcare industry 18 billion a year:) Hypertension triggers one-third of all heart attacks and is the leading cause for strokes and kidney failure. It can often be a silent killer without the person experience any symptoms prior to catastrophe. Leading risk factors for hypertension are: Aging, being overweight and inactive, smoking, and having a poor diet. FYI: Normal blood pressure stats are 120 over 80. What the heck is wrong with people. Shamsid-Din Abdur-Raheem, 21, of Galloway Township New Jersey is accused of abducting his daughter (Zara Malani-Lin Abdur-Raheem) from her maternal grandmother and throwing her over a bridge into the Raritan River.

Motive unknown. He is being held on 2.7 million bond.

If he is guilty i dont he should ever leave the confines of jail. How heartless and desperate is a man that would kill his daughter because he ex was getting a restraining order against him.

In another act of distorted nationalism Israel claimed two historic sites(Tomb of the Patriarchs, known to Muslims as the al-Ibrahimi Mosque and Rachel’s tomb in Bethlehem) are now being listed under Israeli Heritage Sites. These two sites are important to both Jews and Muslims.

This act further divides a country that has been in turmoil for hundreds of generations and seeks to change the identity of the landscape into more of a Jewish identity. Without a doubt this act is going to anger millions of Muslims and harm the peace process.

But let’s be serious, nothing is going to be done by outside forces and the Palestinians are going to be feeling hopeless as they see their identity once again become determined by another as no one helps but politics. Jordan and the UN’s envoy for the peace process both express concerns but didn’t condemn Israels actions. Palestinians would claim that this is a further act to claim land that rightful belongs to them while Israel would do the same. It’s unfortunate that two religions can’t share the same sights and that this furthers tensions in the worlds most vulnerable hotspot.
