"CHECK THE RHIME" A TRIBE CALLED QUEST (1991)

An homage to the past. A glimpse of the future. On Low End Theory, A Tribe Called Quest fused jazz with hip-hop, leading the way to a totally different brand of hip-hop. And in “Check the Rhime”, we found a new, simple and unforgettable groove. With clean, iconic beats and mesmerizing horn samples, it was as ambitious as it was accessible. “Check the Rhime” puts ATCQ’s musicality on full display. Surprisingly simple, yet powerful.

“How far must I go to gain respect? Um, well it's kind of simple, just remain your own.”
