A Tribe Called Quest will hit the studio starting in July to start recording for their reunion album. According to Phife, the death of Jam Master Jay is the reason the group has reunited.

"What really brought it to the forefront was the whole Jam Master Jay thing," Phife told AHH.com. "We just wanted to be Run-DMC. Me and Q-Tip grew around the corner from them. Those were our heroes."

Phife said that while he initially had reservations about the reunification of one of the most important groups in hip-hop, the love he received from fans ultimately helped with his decision.

When I go out all the time, when I am just hanging out at the mall do you my thing everybody is saying, 'You guys gotta do it, you need to come back.' After a while you gotta appreciate the love," Phife said.

No release date has been set for the yet to be titled album.
