About Ali Shaheed Muhammad
As a member of A Tribe Called Quest, Ali Shaheed Muhammad played a pivotal role in the evolution of rap music throughout the 1990s, factoring in the development of the jazz-rooted, sample-based production approach that epitomized Native Tongues, the beloved collective of unorthodox groups that also included the Jungle Brothers and De La Soul. During and following the activity of Tribe — whose six studio albums, from 1990 to 2016, went either gold or platinum and bagged a handful of Grammy nominations — the DJ, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter has been vital on his own and with other collaborators. Muhammad co-wrote and co-produced the Top 30 pop hit that instigated the neo-soul movement, D’Angelo’s “Brown Sugar” (1995), and earned another Grammy nomination via Lucy Pearl’s “Dance Tonight” (2000). After releasing his lone solo album, Shaheedullah and Stereotypes (2004), Muhammad continued performing and recording with the sporadically active Tribe, and also paired with Adrian Younge to score Marvel’s Luke Cage series (2016-2018) and The Midnight Hour (2018).
A native of Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, Ali Shaheed Muhammad first DJ’d at the age of eight, when he relieved his uncle on the turntables at one of his mother’s house parties. Within a few years, thanks in part to the availability of his uncle’s studio equipment, Muhammad and Q-Tip — eventually joined by Phife and Jarobi White — were laying the foundation for A Tribe Called Quest. Muhammad was still a teenager when Tribe debuted with People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (1990), an album that set off one of the richest and most inspiring discographies in rap music, crowned by the undisputed classics A Low End Theory (1991) and Midnight Marauders (1993). Tribe split ahead of the release of fifth full-length The Love Movement (1998), but almost 20 years later regrouped to record their final statement, We Got It from Here…Thank You 4 Your Service (2016), before Phife died of complications related to diabetes. Tribe amassed gold or platinum RIAA certifications for each one of their LPs and were nominated for four Grammy awards, including Best Rap Album for The Love Movement.
