Hiatus Kaiyote Feat. Q-Tip – Nakamarra
Don’t know how Australian group Hiatus Kaiyote got Q-Tip on the record (oh wait, I do — because they’re freakin’ dope), but they got him. They’re officially under boutique label Flying Buddha, who is planning to re-releasing their debut album Tawk Tomahawk come 16th July. It only makes sense that this would be on that project, right?

Music News
From MTV:
Schoolboy Q is busy cooking up his major-label debut, but before Oxymoron is ready, Q hopes to add the flavor from Wu-Tang Clan’s head chef.
“I’m trying to get Raekwon on this record,” the Los Angeles up-and-comer told MTV News while on the set for his upcoming “Collard Greens” music video on July 2.
While on the Red Carpet for the 2013 Bet Awards, Q hinted that he was looking to work with one of the members of the hip-hop collective on his upcoming album in an interview with Vibe.com, but never specified which one until now. “Me and Raekwon, we’ve been talking and we’ve been trying to get a record, and I think I finally found the record for him,” he said, even though the song isn’t complete yet. “I’ma say thank you ahead of time to the Chef.”
Q says he would’ve loved to collaborate with deceased Wu-member Ol’ Dirty Bastard, but the Brooklyn MC passed away in 2004, seven years before Schoolboy dropped his debut independent album, Setbacks. “I couldn’t get ODB, may he rest in peace, he’s long gone and that’s who I really wanted,” he said.
