contents A tuple $\underline{T}=(T_1, \dotsc, T_k)$ of operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ is said to be \textit{$q$-commuting with} $\|q\|=1$ or simply $q$-\textit{commuting} if there is a family of scalars $q=\{q_{ij} \in \mathbb C : |q_{ij}|=1, \ q_{ij}=q_{ji}^{-1}, \ 1 \leq i < j \leq k \}$ such that $T_i T_j =q_{ij}T_j T_i$ for $1 \leq i < j \leq k$. Moreover, if each $q_{ij}=-1$, then $\underline{T}$ is called an \textit{anti-commuting tuple}. A well-known result due to Holbrook \cite{Holbrook} states that a commuting $k$-tuple consisting of $2 \times 2$ scalar matrix contractions always dilates to a commuting $k$-tuple of unitaries for any $k\geq 1$. To find a generalization of this result for a $q$-commuting $k$-tuple of $2\times 2$ scalar matrix contractions, we first classify such tuples into three types upto similarity. Then we prove that a $q$-commuting tuple which is unitarily equivalent to any of these three types, admits a $\widetilde{q}$-unitary dilation, where $\widetilde q \subseteq q \cup \{1\}$. A special emphasis is given to the dilation of an anti-commuting tuple of $2 \times 2$ scalar matrix contractions.
