Tracks

The follow-up to 1999’s Amplified is a mix of summer jams, club bangers, and introspective songs, which combines live instrumentation and samples. The first track off the album is called "Work It Out", which can be heard in full at Q-Tip's MySpace-page. When asked to describe the sound of his new album by the Boston Globe in October 2007 Q-Tip said, "I definitely used my band. I know that in hip-hop the drums are the most important thing, so I paid particular attention to that, so that I don't lose any of the hip-hop sensibilities. It's got a lot of keyboards, guitars, and drums."

Guests

Appearances may include Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, J Dilla, Norah Jones, Madlib, Common, D'Angelo, Raphael Saadiq & Santogold. cite web|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2008/07/13/q-tips-renaissance-coming-this-fall/#more-6960 |title=Q-Tip’s ‘Renaissance’ Coming This Fall |publisher=Los Angeles Times |date=2008-07-13]
