A Tribe Called Quest to Perform with Busta Rhymes, The Roots, Queen Latifah at Rock Hall Induction

A Tribe Called Quest will be joined by several of their closest collaborators during their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction on Saturday (October 19th) in Cleveland, Ohio.

The surviving members of the pioneering hip-hop group — Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and Jarobi White — will be accompanied by their Native Tongues cohort De La Soul and Queen Latifah, as well as longtime collaborator Busta Rhymes, whose feature on Tribe 1992’s “Scenario” served as a jumping off point for his career.

The Roots, whose drummer Questlove chose his name as an homage to A Tribe Called Quest, will also take the stage alongside rapper Common, who featured Q-Tip on his 1997 song, “Stolen Moments Pt. III.” Busta Rhymes associate Spliff Star is also set for the performance.

A Tribe Called Quest are being inducted into the Rock Hall after their third nomination. The group released their final album, We Got It from Here… Thank You 4 Your Service, in 2016 — just months after founding member Phife Dawg passed away from complications of diabetes.

Other artists being inducted this year are Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, Cher, Mary J. Blige, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, and Kool & The Gang. Jimmy Buffett, MC5, Dionne Warwick, and Norman Whitfield will also enter the Rock Hall in the Musical Excellence category.

The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony will stream live on Disney+ at 7:00 p.m. ET on October 19th.
