On October 27, 2016, Q-Tip posted a letter on his Instagram account announcing with detail that A Tribe Called Quest’s reunion album We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service would be released on November 11, 2016 after an 18 year hiatus, and after the untimely death of integral member Phife Daw...

TO ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE WORLDWIDE!
We hope this letter finds you & yours safe and without a scratch!
Last year this time myself, Jarobi, Ali and PHIFE had the extreme pleasure of performing on the Tonight Show©. It was our 1st T.V. performance in 18 yrs
The energy for us that night was one that we hadn't experienced on stage together in some time!
It was also the night of the
PARIS BOMBING....
November 13th...Friday...
A unseasonably warm night in NYC...
As we left 30 ROCK I felt the need, we all did, to get back to the Studio and start that Cookup!!
SO WE GOT TO IT
It was coming together nicely and as you may know we lost our BROTHER may GOD REST HIS SOUL on March 22nd
But he left us with the BluePrint of what we had to do
So collected ourselves and along tribesman, BUSTA and CONS...we completed what will be, obviously the final
A TRIBE CALLED QUEST ALBUM!
No this isn't filled with old Phife Bars.. This is that Pure, unstepped on Pure!!
And on November 11th, 2016
We will complete our Paths of Rhythm.. Join Us!!
PEACE!! Q-Tip
