A Tribe Called Quest’s We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service project took home the top spot on the Billboard charts last month. Prior to the album’s release, the group said it would be billed as the final installment to their legendary music catalogue, especially following the death of lead-member, Malik “Phife Dawg” Taylor, in March.

“So we collected ourselves and among tribesman, Busta and Cons, we completed what will be, obviously the final A Tribe Called Quest album!” Q-Tip said, also adding in talks of the group going on a world tour, reports Billboard.
“Stay tuned for any other incarnation – we don’t intend on stopping because that was Phife’s MO – this time we gotta do it and keep going”

Q-Tip joined Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show on Monday (Dec. 12), and said, “Stay tuned for any other incarnation. We don’t intend on stopping because that was Phife’s M.O., like, ‘This time we gotta do it and keep going,’ and now he’s left us with the equation of how do we do it. But, we are going to need it and we’re going to continue.”
