ScHoolboy Q isn’t the type to flee from a title if it fits. By this, we mean that he fully embraces his status as a “gangster rapper.”
The Black Hippy member spoke on this during a recent interview with MTV. Q, who’s currently prepping his major label debut Oxymoron, said, “I’m not one of them rappers that’s scared to put a title on their name.”
Songs like “Banger” and “Yay Yay” serve as testimonials for Q’s musical disposition. “There’s no more gangster rap really; it’s just trap. That’s trap music now. So I wanna get that old feeling back that I bring, that I do naturally,” he said, while explaining that his goal is to report real life and not to promote violence or negativity.
Q continued, “I’m just more or so telling my story of what I grew up around, and what I seen, and what I did.”
As spit by the TDE artist on Isaiah Rashad’s “I Shot You Down (Remix),” Oxymoron could release some time in January.
