Q Tip’s Industry Rules
With three decades immersed in the music industry, Q Tip has joined forces with Ballantine Books to educate and explain to fans and advocates of the music business some of the experiences he has gone through during his career.
"It was important to me to write a book because on the whole, I feel we could all be more literate, and as an artist, I’m always looking for ways to do something cool, different, and both light and introspective at the same time,” Q-Tip said.
The book, the first from the A Tribe Called Quest front man will be available next year.
