Los Angeles, United States (2008 – present)

Quincy Matthew Hanley (born October 26, 1986), better known by his stage name ScHoolboy Q is an American recording hip hop artist from Los Angeles, California. Hanley is signed to Top Dawg Entertainment and is a member of Black Hippy along with Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar and Ab-Soul. In 2008, ScHoolboy Q released his first mixtape titled, Schoolboy Turned Hustla and followed up in 2009 with Gangsta & Soul. In 2011, he finally relased his first album titled, Setbacks

Dividing his time between socially conscious rap and bud smoker’s anthems, ScHoolboy Q makes quite the impression on his debut “street album”: the polished, funky, well-balanced, and rewarding Setbacks. Think Mos Def meets Murs on an especially hazy, West Coast weekend and you’ve got the idea, but this ScHoolboy offers some unique ideas on top of it. He’s a complex, mature young man who worries about his kids consuming too much fast food (the straight forward “Figg Get Da Money”) but he’s also a dude who can’t help letting go, diving headfirst into a bong when work is done (the dreamlike “Light Years Ahead”). “What’s the Word” with fellow Black Hippy member Jay Rock, is a radio-friendly number that deserves a lavish party video while the following “iBETiGOTSUMWEED” is the kind of looped, scratchy soul the Madlib and Stones Throw crowd crave. Talented on either end of the spectrum, ScHoolboy Q delivers both with the same skill and cool head, all while keeping his own identity up front.

    Q > Kendrick. If you find yourself Co-signing with Yo Champ you lost.

    yesterday evening

  • sugarrayallen

    A good rival for Kendrick. No questions, both have their own flow, themes and beats.

    Yeah there were plenty of meaningful songs in there especially blessed and my homie. I think Kendrick has better wordplay and flow but I still like Q's style quite a bit

    Q's a better rapper than Kendrick, Kendrick has more appeal though...

    This dude's enthusiasm is so unmatched right now. He has so much energy on H&C.

    "Sacrilegious" is great

    last week

  • PrettyFlacko

    So Blessed, Sacrilegious, Oxy Music & Raymond 1969 weren't meaningful? Setbacks isn't better than Habits & Contradictions at all

    Incredible new album. Dude really grew as an artist. One of the most original styles in the game now.

    last week

  • ARustyFirePlace

    The new album didn't really have any meaningful songs on it though, like Live Again and Birds and the Beez on Setbacks

    last week
