Jack White's "Hi-De-Ho" brings Q-Tip, formerly of A Tribe Called Quest, into his world; it was the third single from Fear of the Dawn, White's fourth studio album, and it hit streaming services on March 3, 2022. The spark came from 1943: the track is built on, and samples, Cab Calloway's scat from "Hi De Ho Man". White heard it on the radio, loved it, and got the idea of laying that scatting over a drumbeat before inviting Q-Tip in, and the two share the writing credit.
They go back a way: White once brought Q-Tip out at a Madison Square Garden show for "That Black Bat Licorice", and they played Tribe's "Excursions" together on January 31, 2015. Here White produces and plays nearly everything, bass, drums, percussion, synthesizer and guitars, with Olivia Jean adding guitar, while Q-Tip trades vocals with him and throws in handclaps.
