Phife Dawg’s estate has released the A Tribe Called Quest legend’s long-awaited posthumous solo album, Forever, to mark the sixth anniversary of his death.
The 13-track project, which serves as the follow-up to Phife’s 2000 solo debut Ventilation: Da LP, features the previously released singles “Forever,” “Nutshell Pt. 2,” and “French Kiss Trois,” as well as guest appearances from Q-Tip, Rapsody, Maseo of De La Soul, Dwele, Little Brother, and more.
The album also features production from 9th Wonder, V Rich, Rasta Root, Nottz, Khrysis, UL.TMT., Bobby Ozuna, G-Koop, Potatohead People, The Roux, and Luke Austin, Angela Winbush, and J Dilla.
Earlier this month, Phife’s manager Dion Liverpool a.k.a. DJ Rasta Root spoke with Complex about Forever.
“Even though the family, the estate, and myself are completing Forever, I am so proud of Phife on this one,” Liverpool said. “He always spoke about giving back to his fans, they were very important to him. I know he would want them to have this album as an extension of himself.”
