We Can Get Down
A Tribe Called Quest · 1993Recording
Recorded in New York City for Midnight Marauders during the album sessions at Battery Studios, Platinum Island Studios, and Sorcerer Sound. The track was credited to A Tribe Called Quest, with Bob Power handling recording and mixing on the album. It appeared on A Tribe Called Quest’s third album, released by Jive Records on November 9, 1993, and sat at the center of an album that became one of the group’s defining records. The song helped carry the album’s relaxed, party-focused momentum. It remains a staple album cut from Midnight Marauders and is still identified with the group’s classic 1993 run. Later artists have sampled it, keeping the track in circulation beyond the original release era.
