Throughout his career, Q-Tip has played by the sidelines, silently creating hits. Most of his own music came from the group, A Tribe Called Quest. Outside of his 1999 breakout hit, "Vivrant Thing," Tip has been rather silent.

In 2006, Q-Tip released a song with Busta Rhymes, which was featured on NBA Live '06 called "For the Nasty." The production work was handled by Pharrell. Q-Tip has released two albums since that time.

Most of Q-Tip's time is spent working on new music, as he prepares to release his third album in three years. Aside from his own music, he is working with Kanye West on his upcoming album. Tip has also teamed up with Jay-Z for his secret new project.

Outside of music, look out for Q-Tip in upcoming movies and plays. There is also the possibility of a documentary about A Tribe Called Quest.
