Q-Tip To Produce Kanye West's New Album With Rick Rubin

Q-Tip has confirmed he and Rick Rubin are to produce Kanye West's next album.

The rapper is still touring in support of 'Yeezus', but apparently there are already plans for his next project.

In an interview with Jay Z's Life + Times, Q-Tip revealed that he would be teaming up with Rick Rubin to produce Kanye's next album.

Q-Tip said: "I'm producing Kanye's new album with Rick Rubin," after confirming that he would still be releasing his own solo album, 'The Last Zulu'.

He also spoke about DJ-ing, and why it is still a passion for him. "I mean, I love doing that because I think that, today, it's important to connect all of the dots musically," he said. "And when I spin...first of all, I try to read the energy of the crowd, and not try to make it too much about me. But at the same time, whatever that crowd makeup is, then I instantly just try to pull things and try to take them on a journey, and try to connect different music from genre, from different periods, but still keep the party going."
