A Tribe Called Quest return today with a brand new video for “Dis Generation,” which is off their first album in nearly 20 years titled We Got It From Here…Thank You 4 Your Service.

Shot entirely in black and white, the Hiro Murai-directed video finds Q-Tip, Jarobi White, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and Busta Rhymes dancing on the streets as they make their way to a train station.

Q-Tip told Noisey that the visual represents them in a different way.

“It’s a very old tradition for MCs coming up in New York or coming up back in the day, whether you’re part of a crew or not, to say lines together or finish off lines,” he recalls. “It’s something that, it’s almost like a Voltron kind of premise, where you have, as individuals, we all are strength, but together we are might. And to really exploit the fact that there are four of us on the record by trading off those bars like that. And it’s also just in terms of the economy of the song, you get to still have everybody represented in a good fashion within a reasonable amount of time.”
