Q-Tip, Common Head on U.S. Tour

Iconic hip-hop MC Q-Tip, formerly of A Tribe Called Quest, will be teaming up with Common to hit select cities on the 2K Sports Bounce Tour starting later this month. Q-Tip will be performing tracks off his latest solo album, The Renaissance, which is set for release in early 2008 (check out the first single "Work It Out" here ).

Those in search of even more video game/hip-hop synthesis will be pleased to hear that 2K Sports' latest game, NBA 2K8, will not only feature Q-Tip and Talib Kweli over J Dilla's track "Lightworks" on the soundtrack, but will also include Q-Tip himself as a playable character.
