Perhaps Top Dawg Entertainment's most conventionally charismatic rap star, ScHoolboy Q is a Los Angeles native who helped bring West Coast rap into a new age of sophisticated production and clever, conceptual songwriting. A reformed gangbanger who reinvented gangsta rap motifs on his harrowing autobiographical independent albums, Q has proven equally adept at making accessible hit singles like “Studio” featuring BJ The Chicago Kid and “THat Part” featuring Kanye West.
