We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service (stylised as We got it from Here... Thank You 4 Your service) is the sixth and final studio album by American hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest. It was released on November 11, 2016, by Epic Records.

Released 18 years after its predecessor The Love Movement, the album was recorded at the AbLab, the New Jersey home studio of group member Q-Tip. The recording featured guest appearances from André 3000, Kendrick Lamar, Jack White, Elton John, Kanye West, Anderson .Paak, Talib Kweli, Consequence, and Busta Rhymes. It was one of the final recorded appearances of group member Phife Dawg, who died in March 2016 from complications with diabetes.

We Got It from Here... became A Tribe Called Quest's second album to chart atop the Billboard 200. It was also a widespread critical success, being named by many music publications as one of 2016's ten best albums. The following year, the album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having sold at least 500,000 album-equivalent units.
