Schoolboy Q is known for his playful jabs at other rappers, but he’s also not afraid to engage with Twitter trolls either. He decided against it on Monday and instead decided to list off his “5 rap friends”—with some trash talk thrown in, of course. “I was gone say sum mean things 2 a few […]

Jay Rock has just been honored by the city that raised him. On Friday, the TDE artist was handed the key to the South Los Angeles neighborhood of Watts.

For his latest CrasH Talk interview, Schoolboy Q sat down with Ebro Darden for a Beats 1 conversation spanning the early days of Top Dawg Entertainment to his feelings regarding the way select outlets have covered the death of Nipsey Hussle. “I get mad people telling me ‘You need to leave TD, they don’t do […]

Mac Miller and Nipsey Hussle get special shout-outs in the liner notes for Schoolboy Q‘s latest.

She shared a shot of a […]

The collab was then set to unveil a studio version shortly after, though that release was ultimately postponed following the murder […]

J. Cole is convinced “cancel culture” should be, well, canceled. During a recent interview with XXL magazine, the Grammy-nominated rapper spoke about the politically correct movement that calls for the public denouncement of controversial celebrities—specifically those who have been accused or racist, sexist, or abusive behavior. Cole argued that the idea of “canceling” an individual for their wrongdoings […]

Schoolboy Q isn’t fucking around. Wednesday night, Jimmy Fallon welcomed Q to The Tonight Show studio as the musical guest for the evening. Instead of simply going through with a performance of his recently released new single “Numb Numb Juice,” Q took the opportunity to also unveil another new one. Up top, catch Q’s mini-medley of […]
