Queens. Kamaal Ibn John Fareed (formerly Jonathan Davis). Tribe Called Quest founder, and the producer's producer of jazz-rap. Solo on 'Amplified' (1999), 'The Renaissance' (2008, Grammy-nominated), 'Kamaal the Abstract' (the famously shelved-then-released record).

Permanent seat at hip-hop's grown-folks table; one of the most influential production aesthetics in modern rap.
