A new documentary called 'BEATS, RHYMES & LIFE: THE TRAVELS OF A TRIBE CALLED QUEST' from actor and first-time director Michael Rapaport takes chronicles the group's inception, their rise, how they shifted the hip hop genre, and how their brand of inspired rhythms and conscious lyricism remain relevant and true even to this day.
A Tribe Called Quest has kept a generation hungry for more of its groundbreaking music since the group’s much-publicized breakup in 1998. The band shaped a unique sound by wedding jazz-infused musicscapes to Afrocentric rhymes espousing unity and community.
'Beats, Rhymes & Life', the feature directorial debut of acclaimed actor Michael Rapaport, documents the inner workings and behind-the-scenes drama that follow the band even today and explores what's next for a group many claim are the pioneers of alternative rap. Rapaport’s passion for his subjects allows them to open up to the camera, resulting in a remarkably honest, emotional portrait that does justice to this seminal band.
BEATS, RHYMES & LIFE: THE TRAVELS OF A TRIBE CALLED QUEST opens in limited release on July 8th.
