A brief overview of Schoolboy Q's career
Schoolboy Q started his career in the mid-2000s with a couple of mixtapes released in 2008 and 2009: ScHoolboy Turned Hustla and Gangsta & Soul. The mixtapes led to the formation of the Black Hippy group with Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, and Ab-Soul.
Black Hippy as a collective never released an album or other full-length project, with the members instead frequently collaborating with each other on their solo efforts. Schoolboy Q went on to release his debut album, Setbacks, on January 11, 2011. The album was a moderate success, and the singer released his second studio album to similar reception.
The singer rose to prominence with his third studio album, Oxymoron, which was released to critical and commercial acclaim on February 25, 2014, through Top Dawg Entertainment and Interscope Records.
The album secured the top position on the Billboard 200 album chart as well as on the Canadian album chart. It was also certified platinum in the US. The album was nominated for the Best Rap Album at the 2015 Grammy Awards and the Album of the Year award at the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards.
