Think of the busiest performers you know and they don’t have a step on 29-year-old Jonathan Davis. He’s the fella most people know as Q-Tip. His distinguished flow has been a welcome part of hip hop since the Native Tongues clique first embossed their sound on wax years ago. The vision and voice behind A Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip's recording credits read like a who’s who of pop music, spanning genres and uniting cultures. His list of contributions includes working with Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes, Janet Jackson, Mike Scott, Run DMC, The Beastie Boys and many others. As a producer, a rapper and a vocalist, Q-Tip is an artist whose music will be familiar to you, even if his name isn’t. A native of Queens, N.Y., Q-Tip stands out as one of the freshest examples of East Coast rap.
