Quincey Matthew Hanley (born October 26, 1986), better known by his stage name ScHoolboy Q, is an American rapper from South Central Los Angeles, California. In 2009, Q signed to Carson-based independent record label Top Dawg Entertainment and secured a recording contract with major label Interscope Records in late 2011. Q is also a member of Black Hippy, alongside his labelmates and fellow California-based rappers Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar.
In 2008, Q released his first full-length project, a mixtape titled ScHoolboy Turned Hustla, which was followed by his second mixtape, Gangsta & Soul, the following year. In 2011, he released his first independent album, Setbacks, to digital retailers only, which reached number 100 on the Billboard 200. A little over a year later, his second independent album, Habits & Contradictions, was also released exclusively to digital retailers. The album received generally positive reviews and debuted at #111 on the Billboard 200.
After signing with Interscope, Q subsequently began recording his major-label debut studio album, Oxymoron. The album was released in early 2014 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. Its singles "Collard Greens", "Man of the Year" and "Studio" all charted on the Billboard Hot 100.
