Barack Obama to feature on Q-Tip's new album

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama is making a bid for another position - as a RAP star.

The Democratic frontrunner is making his musical debut on an upcoming album by Q-Tip, formerly of A Tribe Called Quest.

"I've got Norah Jones on there, but Barack is the big one. You'll see what happens, I can't reveal too much," Q-Tip said.

Barack speaks throughout one of the tracks, while Hollywood director Spike Lee also appears on another track on the politically-driven record 'The Renaissance'.
