“Do You Dig U?” is a song from Q-Tip’s once-shelved Kamaal/The Abstract album. The seven minute song indulges in a lengthy flute solo by Gary Thomas on top of rhythm guitar picking by frequent collaborator Kurt Rosenwinkel.

Do, Do you, dig you?
Did you drink the drink?
Talkin' up the sun?
Fightin' off the dragon when it's lookin' in the mirror
At you

Playin' all night
All I wanna do it just get a little hit up
To you
It's you
Do you dig you?
