Schoolboy Q

Quincy Matthew Hanley (born October 26, 1986), better known by his stage name Schoolboy Q (stylized as ScHoolboy Q), is an American rapper. In 2009, Hanley signed to Carson-based independent record label Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) and in late 2011, secured a recording contract with major label Interscope Records. Hanley is also a member of the hip-hop supergroup Black Hippy, alongside label-mates and fellow California-based rappers Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, and Kendrick Lamar.

In 2008, Hanley released his first full-length project, a mixtape titled ''ScHoolboy Turned Hustla''. He later released a follow-up in 2009, titled ''Gangsta & Soul''. He then returned in January 2011, with his first independent album, titled ''Setbacks''. The project, released under TDE, to digital retailers only, reached number 100 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 chart. A little over a year later, his second independent album ''Habits & Contradictions'', was also released exclusively to digital retailers. The album received generally favorable reviews and debuted at number 111 on the US ''Billboard'' 200.

After signing with Interscope, Hanley subsequently began recording his major-label debut studio album, titled ''Oxymoron'' (2014). The album debuted at number one on the US ''Billboard'' 200 and was preceded by the singles "Collard Greens" (featuring Kendrick Lamar), "Man of the Year", "Studio" (featuring BJ the Chicago Kid) and "Hell of a Night". The first three singles all charted on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, with "Studio" remaining his best-performing as a lead artist to date. Provided by Wikipedia
