New Q-Tip (MP3), Chicago July Music Guide, Happy 4th of July!

Sorry. I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I assure you that all is well. I just finished my intern year at the hospital and followed that up with one week off that included three days of sun, poker, and drunken debauchery at the Venetian in Las Vegas. Now that I am somewhat recovered, I bring you the following long overdue update:


• Q-Tip - Work It Out (MP3)
  Download is on his myspace page. His new album, "The Renaissance" features a live band and features collaborations with Common, Andre 3000, and D'Angelo. This jazzy tune is a welcome change from the monotonous sameness plaguing current hip-hop. [thx, somuchsilence]
