BiographyQuincy Matthew Hanley (born October 26, 1986), better known by his stage name Schoolboy Q (stylized as ScHoolboy Q), is an American rapper who began recording in 2007, and released his first two mixtapes, ScHoolboy Turned Hustla (2008) and Gangsta & Soul (2009) to local success. After signing with the Carson-based record label Top Dawg Entertainment, Hanley's debut studio album, Setbacks (2011) and its follow-up, Habits & Contradictions (2012) were both released to positive critical response; both also performed moderately on the US Billboard 200 chart as digital exclusives.
Hanley signed with Interscope Records to release his third album and major label debut, Oxymoron (2014). Met with critical acclaim, the album peaked atop the US Billboard 200 and was supported by the singles "Collard Greens" (featuring Kendrick Lamar) and "Studio" (featuring BJ the Chicago Kid); the former received quadruple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, while the latter received triple platinum certification and peaked within the top 40. He saw further success on the chart as a guest performer, appearing on the 2013 single "White Walls" by the hip hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, and the 2014 single "2 On" by singer Tinashe. His fourth and fifth albums, Blank Face LP (2016) and Crash Talk (2019), were both met with continued praise and peaked within the top three of the Billboard 200. His sixth album, Blue Lips (2024), peaked at number 13 and saw universal acclaim.
