In celebration of Q-Tip’s new album, The Renaissance, Universal Motown Records commissioned Absurd to design a limited-edition tee to commemorate the album’s release; the collaboration between Absurd and Universal Motown was facilitated by Epiphany. Co-designed by Angelo Baque of Absurd and Virus, the tee has been produced in a super limited run and will be seeded to a select list of industry heavyweights, friends, and family. The Renaissance drops November 4th, 2008 and is available on iTunes.

Detailed images of the Absurd x Q-Tip t-shirt follow after the jump.

One of many new albums with art work incorporating or referencing the MPC is Q-Tip’s forthcoming release. The Renaissance features 12 tunes and pushes Tip’s production legacy. His beats drove much of Tribe Called Quest’s first three albums, yet he’s often overlooked in that capacity. Look for the album to drop on November 4.
