Chinese Democracy has basically monopolized the music media since it came out, but the long-awaited release of Q-Tip's second solo album, The Renaissance, is all I care to talk about today. Nine years was a long time to wait for a sophomore release, but it seems it's been worth it. The Renaissance is near-flawlessly executed, and is as easy on the ears as Q-Tip is on the eyes. "Neo-soul" is what the people in the know are calling it, and although I'm not entirely sure what that means, I am totally sure that I dig it. In fact, I've been listening to The Renaissance on a loop for the past two days. Every song is solid, but "Won't Trade" is one of my current favorites. So, and without further ado, please. Do.*
*Though, maybe do so at home, since some lyrics are NSFW. You slacker.
