Consequence Of Sound
By and large, We got it from Here… has the classic Tribe sound: a warm and crisp confluence of East Coast hip-hop, jazz, and more, all mixed and mastered impeccably.

Phife gets the last laugh: a finale more jamming than Bowie’s, Prince’s and Cohen’s combined

The Line Of Best Fit
Quest were all about beats, rhymes and life, and this album has that in spades. They may have grown older but their wit and skill with the mic have not eroded

Pretty Much Amazing
With each of Tribe’s albums up until now, it’s pointless to dissect it track by track when really, it should be taken as one, singular groove

The Independent
Despite the hiatus, this guest-laden double-album finds the group still very much engaged, rattling out tongue-twisting, articulate verbal flows dealing more with social realities than self-aggrandising brags and outlaw fantasies

Rolling Stone
One of the most timeless rap groups ever has returned with a record that doesn't sound like 1996, but doesn't sound like 2016 either. It's imbued with the same feeling of "Push It Along" that they've had from the beginning
