Barack Obama To Appear On Hip Hop Album

Barack Obama will be appearing on the new Q-Tip album, according to the rapper.

The former A Tribe Called Quest star tells the Guardian, "I've got Norah Jones on there, but Barack is the big one. You'll see what happens, I can't reveal too much."

Also set to appear on the currently untitled record - his first studio LP in nine years - are D'Angelo and Raphael Saadiq.

Nigel Godrich, who has worked with Radiohead and Beck, will help produce the album. Q-Tip says of Godrich: "He's a big fan of rap, (he's) really dope. It'll be cool working with him."

The last album from Q-Tip was in 1999, when he delivered 'Amplified'.
