A Tribe Called Quest’s new album We Got It From Here…Thank You 4 Your Service is out now,  and whether you’re a day one fan or new to the Queens crew, it’s definitely worth checking out. Being a Tribe head to the core, I’m not only enjoying the new music (favorite songs out the gate are “The Space Program” and “Whateva Will Be”) but also the media coverage that is promoting it.

Complex has them on the cover of their new issue, with a full story on the making of the album, including exclusive in-studio pics you can check out HERE. And below, watch as CBS’s Gayle King takes a tour of Q-Tip’s home studio where the album was recorded.

Catch A Tribe Called Quest on tomorrow night on SNL…and watch their new lyric video for “We The People…” HERE.

RIP Phife Dawg.
