The as-of-yet untitled effort will follow 2019’s CrasH Talk, which featured appearances from Travis Scott, 6lack, Ty Dolla $ign, YG, 21 Savage, Kid Cudi and Lil Baby. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 81,000 album-equivalent units sold in its first week, making for ScHoolboy Q’s third Top 10 album.
Of course, the “CHopstix” rapper has been promising this album for some time now – once telling fans that they could expect it at the top of 2021.

He also promised during a performance at London’s O2 Academy Brixton in January 2020 that his follow-up album would be released in 2020.
“I’ma constantly be here bruh, I’m not lying to you, I swear to God,” he said. “I’ma drop a whole other album this year, I promise you that. I promise you that, I’m not lying this time! And I’m the most lying-ist muthafucka ever! I’ll drop next month. Yeah right. N-gga, I’m dropping an album this year, I promise you that.
“I’ve been working on this album since CrasH Talk came out. I been working non-stop. I constantly work because I’m hungry and I love to create. And every time when I come out and I see my fans, it makes me appreciate this shit way more than what it is.”

In August 2021, Q previewed a batch of new songs — including collaborations with The Alchemist and Rico Nasty — on Twitch. “I’ve been working hard on this album. Really, really hard,” he said during the livestream. “From the production to the [lyrics] — just not rushing things.”
He added: “It doesn’t sound like none of my albums. It sounds like its own.”
Nothing came of it, however. As of now, ScHoolboy Q’s last music drop was the one-off single “Soccer Dad” in April 2022. Listen to the Tae Beast, DJ Fu and Skhye Hutch-produced track here.
