Beats, Rhymes & Life is A Tribe Called Quest's fourth album, from 1996, and the first one Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and J Dilla produced together as The Ummah. It's darker and more spare than the three records before it, with "1nce Again," "Stressed Out" featuring Faith Evans, and the first appearances from Consequence. This RSD Essentials pressing is a double LP on sangria swirl vinyl.
