On top of having the coolest website I’ve seen in a while, being in arguably the best hip hop group of all time, and being retarded fly, Q-Tip has a new album on the way. It’s his first since 1999’s Amplified (with the monster hits, “Vivrant Thing” and “Breathe and Stop”). The Renaissance, which features production by Kanye West, J Dilla, and The Neptunes, comes just in time for everyone to need another fix after hearing “Can I Kick It?” in The Wackness this summer. His new track, “Gettin’ Up,” is streaming on his myspace, smoother than milk chocolate, cooler than the other side of the pillow, etc.

The Renaissance is due October 14 on Universal.
