?uesto talks to MTV news about his many up and coming projects. In addition to finishing up Rising Down (which ? says feels like the musical equivalent to Blade Runner at times!!!), ?uestlove talks about the Al Green project “I’m not producing, I’m reducing it. I’m trying to take him back to 1974.” He also mentions that he’s working on liner notes for the re-releases of D’s Brown Sugar and Voodoo, and that he might be working on an LP from Common and Q-Tip in the near future. Fingers crossed.
Common, Percee P, and Q-Tip on tour together. Check the US and Canada tour dates which kick off Sept. 22nd in Milwaukee.
