Feb 12, 2021 A Tribe Called Quest legend Malik “Phife Dawg” Taylor passed away on March 22, 2016, leaving another gaping hole in the Hip Hop community that will never be filled. But the Five-Foot Assassin’s legacy will carry on in his music — not only with A Tribe Called Quest’s celebrated catalog but also his forthcoming solo album Forever,which is finally being rolled out after years of anticipation. Forever — a collection of “carefully assembled songs earmarked by his signature verbal fireworks, hilarious ad-libs, incisive social commentary, and unexpectedly introspective confessions” will be released via Rasta Root’s Smokin’ Needles Records imprint in partnership with indie distributor AWAL. No official release date has been announced yet, but as Phife’s mother Cheryl Boyce-Taylor told DX last November, Forever will certainly arrive sometime early this year. Boyce-Taylor, a renowned poet, recently released her new book Mama Phife Represents, a vibrant collection of poetry, short stories and handwritten letters all related to her late son.
