A Tribe Called Quest emerged from Queens, New York, in the late 1980s and reshaped hip-hop with their innovative fusion of jazz-inflected production, clever lyricism, and social insight. Comprised of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and Jarobi White, the group became a driving force behind the Native Tongues collective. Their critically acclaimed albums, including *The Low End Theory* and *Midnight Marauders*, set new standards for creativity and cohesion in hip-hop. Revered for their adventurous sound and lasting impact, A Tribe Called Quest remains one of the genre’s most influential groups.
