A Tribe Called Quest want to do one more world tour

Q-Tip says it'll be the last one

A Tribe Called Quest's final album, 'We Got It From Here, Thank You 4 Your Service', came out last week, with the group bowing out in serious style.

Recorded before Phife Dawg's death, the record was the hip hoppers' first in 18 years and Q-Tip's spoken to Billboard about what they'll be doing in celebration of it.

"This is our last record, and we’ll probably do a world tour. After that, that’s it, for the rest of our lives."

The idea for the album came about after Tip, Phife, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jarobi White performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, reigniting their relationship.

About that performance, White said: "When we did that performance, the synergy between the four of us was crazy. It was such an ill moment, and [Q-Tip and Dawg] both had a feeling they needed to reconcile."

Kendrick Lamar, Elton John, André 3000 and Jack White are among the collaborators on the LP.
