Schoolboy Q

After a decade of success—including Grammy nods and top-charting albums—ScHoolboy Q seemed poised to relax after 2019’s „CrasH Talk”. But something felt off, and he “didn’t feel like his normal self anymore”. His sixth album, „Blue Lips” (2024), dives into that discomfort and redefines what success means to him. Q went from unknown to a hip-hop heavyweight with albums like „Oxymoron” and „Blank Face”. But after „CrasH Talk”, he faced a creative void. Now, with razor-sharp writing and emotional depth, „Blue Lips” is the work of an artist fully in control—focused not on the past, but on what comes next. See him live at Tent Stage, July 2.
