While carving fresh powder in Mammoth, you better believe I’m hitting the slopes with some great hip hop in my ears. “Won’t Trade”, in particular, is an anthematic combination of swagger and soul that will save you from the clenches of Friday the 13th karma…hopefully.
As the song incorporates ineffectual trade talks for an athlete, Q-Tip reminds us that he will always be one of the most valuable players in the games of hip hop and love. Offering the Abstract Poetic zeal for life, who other than Q-Tip keeps you feeling like a vivrant thing on such a cursed day?
After being bumped to five different labels in six years, and last year’s reunion tour with A Tribe Called Quest for Rock the Bells, Tip released his first album in nearly a decade. The Renaissance dropped November 2008 and boasts today’s SotD.
