While a final solo album from Phife Dawg has yet to appear, the estate of the late A Tribe Called Quest member has shared another new single from the forthcoming effort.

"French Kiss Deux" finds Phife wowed by a woman he deems the "finest thing walking through Montreal, Quebec." As its title implies, the song is a rework of Illa J's "French Kiss" — a Potatohead People-produced track that appeared on the ex-Slum Village spitter's self-titled 2015 album.

 French Kiss Deux" follows this year's "Nutshell PART 2," a follow-up to solo single "Nutshell" that arrived in 2016. The ATCQ member's only previous solo LP remains 2000's Ventilation: Da LP.

It remains unclear when Phife Dawg's posthumous solo album will see release.

Phife Dawg passed away in March 2016 following complications from diabetes. He was 45 years old.
