Schoolboy Q
Aug 11, 2013

Schoolboy Q is an American hip hop recording artist from South Central Los Angeles, California. In March 2012 secured a recording contract with Interscope Records. Hanley is a member of hip hop supergroup Black Hippy, along with label-mates and fellow West Coast rappers Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar.
Preceded by two mixtapes, his first independent album Setbacks, released January 11, 2011, reached #100 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling close to 1,000 digital copies in it's first week released. Almost a year later on January 14, 2012, he released his second independent album Habits & Contradictions. The album debuted at #111 on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 3,900 digital copies in the United States. After signing with Interscope, his major label debut studio album, entitled Oxymoron, is set to be released in 2013.
In the meantime the rapper has already released his first single "Yay Yay" and he's now shared another track called "Collard Greens." This one has an excellently jittery, beep-driven beat from frequent Black Hippy producer THC, and Kendrick Lamar shows up with a frantic guest verse, one with a few bars rapped in Spanish.
