A new posthumous album from the late, great Phife Dawg is dropping this week. The A Tribe Called Quest legend died in 2016, a few months before Tribe released their glorious reunion album and grand finale We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service. Six years later, we’re about to get the follow-up to his lone solo album, 2000’s Ventilation: Da LP.

Although the industry standard album release day is Friday, Forever is dropping on Tuesday, the sixth anniversary of Phife’s death. It includes a couple of the singles that have made their way online over the past year and change: the Busta Rhymes and Redman collab “Nutshell Pt. 2” and the Illa J team-up “French Kiss Trois,” which also features Redman now. Other guests on the album include Phife’s Tribe partner Q-Tip, De La Soul members Maseo and Pos (on separate tracks), Rapsody, Little Brother, Dwele, V.Rich, Lyric Jones, Darien Brockington, Renée Neufville, Angela Winbush, and Phife’s mother, the poet Cheryl Boyce-Taylor.

Forever’s title track is also its closer. Produced by DJ Rasta Root, V. Rich, and Nottz, the piano-led, string-laden track samples a couple memorable uses of “forever” in hip-hop history, one from André 3000 on OutKast’s “Ms. Jackson” and one from Ol’ Dirty Bastard on Wu-Tang Clan’s “Triumph.” “Forever” is out today ahead of the full album’s release three days from now. Listen below.
