Schoolboy Q Educates The World
Schoolboy Q dropped his latest release, Blank Face, July 8 via Top Dawg Entertainment/Interscope. The LP features notable guest appearances by Kanye West, Vince Staples, Jadakiss, E-40, Tha Dogg Pound, Anderson .Paak, Miguel and Justine Skye.
The album has also received critical acclaim. Pitchfork gave it an 8.3 review saying it’s “a collection of catchy, urgent gangsta rap songs that show the South Central native at his charismatic best, gallows humor and tough talk failing to obscure a humane core.”
Rolling Stone gave it a 3.5 review describing the LP as “trapped and haunted … his music is richer for its resistance to escapist fantasy.”
