Earlier this 12 months, Schoolboy Q launched his sixth studio album to essential acclaim.
Per HipHopDX‘s 4.5/5 review of Blue Lips, “The optimistic and self-assured transparency of the LP is fueled by a controlled dramatism that allows the West Coast barman to sustain the fervor that made him a key figure in the game throughout the 2010s while also giving him the space to look ahead with caution. Despite the absence of a defined theme, the project is held together by a patterned cohesion that distinguishes it from a compilation of singles bundled together and passed off as an album.
“An orderly union of sunshine, overcast, rain and starry skies, Blue Lips switches from bouncy to sedated to lit to pensive with a consistency that prompts an involuntary submission to its charmingly erratic rhythm. The rare instances wherein the production stagnates are compensated for by lyrical matter and vocal merit, with cameos coming from Lance Skiiiwalker, Jozzy, Devin Malik and Childish Major; and vice versa.”
It concludes: “Whereas a lot of listeners might be tempted to ask themselves if ScHoolboy Q’s newest providing was well worth the wait, his exceptional development additionally means that years of expertise is probably what births the richest music, particularly in a word-heavy style like rap.”
The 37-year-old rapper will embark on an 11-date tour in help of the album later this month that may stretch throughout North America.
