This month OkayAfrica enlisted yet another Hip-Hop artist to help with discovering their ancestry. The latest artist to take part in the DNA testing (No Maury) was Q-Tip of the legendary Hip-Hop group A Tribe Called Quest. Despite his belief that he might be part Asian it was revealed that Q-Tip's ancestors are from the country of Guinea-Bissau in West Africa.
