Schoolboy Q + Isaiah Rashad

Having worked with Danny Brown, A$AP Rocky, Macklemore, fellow Black Hippy member Kendrick Lamar and even man-of-the-moment Pharrell Williams, L.A. MC Schoolboy Q is starting to become pretty big news. Here he drops tracks from his stellar first major-label album Oxymoron as well as his first two (digital-only) LPs. Q brings hip-hop back to the West Coast gangsta sounds of the '90s era, mixing Dre-like lean with modern darkwave bounce. It is the barbecue soundtrack of 2014.
