… or it’s full title of “Beats, Rhymes & Features – The Extensive Adventures Of The Abstract Poetic Q Tip mixed by Colm K”.

Colm K, Irish DJ and producer extraordinaire has taken time out to lace us with this great little mix of Q-Tip’s solo work.

Some gems on here featuring Q on the mic and behind the boards.  You can’t beat an emcee that rhymes, produces and collects records.  It’s the epitome of hiphop and something you don’t see too much of these days but then again there’s not many emcees who can stand up to Q-Tip in terms of rhymes, production and overall legacy.  Old school and New school – the mix below speaks for itself.  (re-blogged from ChoiceCuts’ website, home of this mix)
