A Tribe Called Quest released their new and final album, We Got It From Here, Thank You 4 Your Service, last week, and they're marking this momentous occasion in music history with new visuals and new live performances.
ATCQ released a new lyric video for "We The People," one of the new tracks off of their new and highly anticipated final album, We Got It From Here, Thank You 4 Your Service. The socially conscious track addresses America's culture of racism and the media that enables it. While much of the new album was recorded earlier this year before Phife Dawg's sudden, tragic death, the song seems especially prescient and important now, less than a week after a Presidential candidate was successfully elected following a campaign run on racist rhetoric.

ATCQ also honored the fallen band mate when they performed live on Saturday Night Live this weekend. During a live performance of "We The People...," a banner of Phife Dawg was displayed on stage while his pre-recorded verses played. The remaining members of the band, Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Mohammed, and Jarobi White, were also joined by frequent Tribe collaborator Busta Rhymes for a performance of "The Space Program," another track off of the new album. This week's episode of SNL was hosted by comedian Dave Chapelle, a long time vocal fan of Tribe.
